Ukraine – The United Nations condemns a new Russian attack on Kiev that killed at least 12 people

In a statement issued today, Monday, Shamali said that only a few days had passed since the last large-scale attack, until the residents of Kiev once again faced the horror of strikes launched by the Russian armed forces. He added: “In multiple residential neighborhoods, people are mourning their loved ones and seeing their homes reduced to rubble.”.

He stated that so far, reports indicate that approximately 12 residents were killed and dozens were injured, including children.

Shamali pointed out that in addition to the capital, the bombing that occurred over the weekend in the Sumy region led to the death of a number of civilians and the injury of dozens, including children.

He added that the Dnipro, Kherson, Zaporizhya and other regions witnessed numerous civilian casualties and widespread damage to civilian infrastructure, hindering access to basic services.

Horrific losses

The UN official said that while he visits the strike sites to express solidarity, he finds… “from It is very difficult to bear seeing the scale of human suffering, as you see people crying over the bodies of their family members or friends, or waiting while rescue teams clear the rubble to find out what happened to their loved ones; It witnesses the destruction of what societies have spent years building.”.

He warned that horrific civilian casualties are continuing to increase, both along the front line and in urban centres.

He reiterated that international humanitarian law requires that all possible measures be taken to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, adding: “Attacks that destroy homes and claim innocent lives cannot be accepted.”.
