January 23, 2026 Humanitarian aid
On Friday, UN humanitarian agencies reported that two people delivering bread from the UN World Food Programme (WFP) were killed the previous day in the Kharkiv region when a drone struck a car.
On the morning of January 22, a vehicle carrying humanitarian aid provided by the WFP and its partners to the villages of Kozachya Lopan and Novaya Kozachya in the Kharkiv region was attacked by a drone near the entrance to one of the villages. Two local officials, aged 35 and 63, who were inside, died instantly.
The food was intended for people living in close proximity to the front lines, where access to food remains extremely limited.
"We express our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died courageously helping others. Attacks on civilians are prohibited by international humanitarian law," said Richard Regan, WFP Country Director for Ukraine.
"These repeated, senseless attacks on humanitarian operations risk depriving communities living on the front lines of vital assistance," he added.
This is the 69th attack on WFP-supported facilities in the past two years, including aid distribution points, warehouses and vehicles.
