The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that last night, large-scale drone and missile strikes, as well as fighting on the front lines across Ukraine, killed and wounded civilians, damaged homes and critical infrastructure.
At a briefing in New York, UN Press Secretary Stéphane Dujarric stated that the UN condemns attacks by Russian armed forces on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
"Such attacks, wherever they occur, violate international humanitarian law, are unacceptable and unjustifiable and must stop immediately," he said.
The UKGV clarified that in the Odesa region, approximately 40,000 families were left without electricity, and in the Poltava region, damage to gas facilities led to power outages affecting approximately 20,000 families and businesses.
Ukraine's Ministry of Energy also reported power outages in several eastern and southern regions of the country.
"Our humanitarian partners on the ground provided materials to carry out basic repairs and also provided first aid to those affected," Dujarric said.
He also said that, according to authorities and Ukrainian UN partners, nearly 7,000 people were evacuated from frontline areas in eastern Ukraine last month.
