Strikes on critical infrastructure disrupt access to electricity and water: Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine Denise Brown strongly condemns attacks impacting critical infrastructure across Ukraine

UNOCHA - United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

I am outraged by the magnitude of today's attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on energy infrastructure across Ukraine.

The strikes left people in large urban centres like Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia and other communities across the country without power and water.

The wide impact of today's attacks on critical civilian infrastructure is deepening the already dire humanitarian situation for millions of people in Ukraine.

These attacks also took lives and affected homes and schools, causing further suffering.

International humanitarian law explicitly safeguards civilians and civilian infrastructure.

International humanitarian law must be respected.
