A new wave of massive Russian attacks on at least 10 of Ukraine's 24 regions has left behind a path of destruction and death over the past 24 hours.
Grain storage facilities, vital for the Ukrainian farmers and global food security, have been hit in the Danube area. A school in the Sumy region was damaged, and teachers were killed and injured. In the Kherson region, civilians endured some horrifying hours of relentless strikes that damaged a hospital, and forced aid organizations to suspend vital assistance and take shelter in the middle of the day yesterday.
I have repeatedly expressed alarm about this brutal pattern of civilian harm due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This must stop, and international humanitarian law must be respected.
