The Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine Denise Brown strongly condemned today's massive attack by the Russian Federation, which damaged critical civilian infrastructure across the country. UNN reports with reference to the UN press service.
I am outraged by the scale of today's attacks by the armed forces of the Russian Federation on energy infrastructure across Ukraine. As a result of these attacks, residents of major cities such as Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, and other towns and cities across the country have been left without electricity and water supply
Brown noted that these hostile strikes have also killed people and damaged homes and schools, causing new suffering for people.
The significant impact of today's attacks on critical civilian infrastructure will exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation for millions of people in Ukraine
Brown emphasized that under international humanitarian law, civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected.
"International humanitarian law must be respected," Brown urged.
