Another night of terror in Ukraine. Another reminder what Ukrainian families endure every single day.

Russia's massive attack last night killed at least 21 people, leaving around 120 people injured.

There must be accountability for these deaths under international law.

Not a day goes by without Russia violating International Humanitarian Law.

Yesterday, a Russian missile struck a clearly marked @WFP warehouse storing food for Ukrainians affected by the war. These supplies could have fed 130,000 people.

Humanitarian aid must be protected.

Russia is losing this war, but continues to terrorise Ukrainians.

Yesterday’s brutal attack on Kyiv damaged homes, critical infrastructure, & humanitarian offices, injuring more than 80 people.

This is terror in its purest form. Those responsible must be held accountable.

Horrible news from Kherson, where a clearly marked @UNOCHA mission, including the Head of OCHA in #Ukraine, came under drone attack while visiting Ostriv.

Humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law and must never be targeted.
