I vehemently condemn the attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which today hit Dnipro City and other parts of the Dnipro Region, east of Ukraine, bringing new suffering to the people of Ukraine.
Strikes occurred today's early morning, damaging homes and killing and injuring dozens of people. This came just two days after a deadly attack in Chernihiv City, north of the country, and once again, there are reports that children were among those killed.
Aid workers in Dnipro are already on the ground, helping the affected people.
The attacks are yet another example of a grave and reprehensible disregard for human life. International Humanitarian Law protects civilians and civilian infrastructure.
