“Turning to Ukraine. Our Humanitarian Coordinator in that country, Denise Brown, condemned in a statement the latest wave of aerial attacks that took place this morning on Kyiv and Kharkiv - Ukraine’s largest urban centres – as well as Pavlohrad which is in Dnipro area. In the capital, Kyiv, the attacks caused damage to civilian buildings just next to the UN offices. Ms. Brown said that civilians who were just preparing for work or getting children ready to go to school ended up hospitalized because of the attacks.”

“In Kharkiv, our humanitarian colleagues on the ground tell us that many buildings were impacted, and civilians killed and injured, as rescuers are trying to find people under the rubble of a residential building. The attacks left tens of thousands of families, businesses and institutions without electricity this morning, that’s what the Energy Ministry is telling our colleagues in Kyiv. Water and gas supplies were also impacted – and on a day when temperatures are below freezing in the city.
The attacks also caused loss and destruction in the Dnipro Region. Meanwhile, in the east and the south of the country, fierce fighting and hostilities continue to take a heavy toll on civilians. And on the response side we, along with our humanitarian partners, are providing emergency assistance, including first aid, psychosocial support and materials for emergency repairs.”
