"This brutal pattern of civilian harm must stop!" Statement by the Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, on the wave of attacks hitting cities in the country's west, centre and north [EN/RU/UK]

Today, a wave of attacks shook cities in the west, north and centre of Ukraine, causing damage to homes, a kindergarten and other civilian infrastructure that are hundreds of kilometres away from the front line. These are the parts of the country where millions of people are seeking safety and refuge after fleeing the horrors of Russia’s invasion.

Russia’s persistent attacks hitting essential infrastructure in populated areas cause immense human suffering.

This brutal pattern of civilian harm must stop.
