Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General - on Ukraine
United Nations Secretary-General

Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General
The Secretary-General condemns the overnight missile and drone attacks by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian cities, which killed and injured many civilians, including children. The attacks also damaged facilities of diplomatic delegations and offices in the capital Kyiv.
Attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure violate international humanitarian law, are unacceptable and must end immediately.
The Secretary-General renews his call for a ceasefire that results in a just, comprehensive, and sustainable peace in Ukraine - one that fully upholds Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, within its internationally recognized borders, in line with the UN Charter, international law and relevant UN resolutions.
