UNITED NATIONS, 8th Feb. UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine Denise Brown on Wednesday has condemned a new wave of Russian attacks on cities and towns in Ukraine.
She noted that the morning assault reportedly involved Russian-fired missiles and drones which hit six Ukrainian regions leaving at least five dead.
According to UN office in Ukraine the attacks disrupted essential services, including electricity, water and gas supplies in Mykolaiv city and Kyiv, when they are much needed this cold winter.
Ms. Denise Brown said in a statement “Millions of people rely on these services for heating, cooking and transportation. They are critically important to ensure health and education facilities are functional”.
She noted that humanitarian workers have mobilized emergency responses in Kyiv and Mykolaiv, delivered repair materials and psychosocial assistance to those affected.
They provided support to people after recent attacks in the Kharkiv region, including in Velykyi Burluk town, which had suffered repeated aerial attacks yesterday, damaging a hospital, she statedl.
Ms. Brown said that repeated attacks damaging civilian infrastructure and causing injuries and deaths to civilians indicate a concerning pattern of harm and international humanitarian law violations.
“Ukrainians should live without fear of attacks disrupting their lives civilians must be spared from violence,” she added.
