STATEMENT BY THE HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR FOR UKRAINE, DENISE BROWN, ON THE ATTACK IN LVIV
06 July 2023
In the early hours of this morning in Lviv, I was jolted awake by explosions.
Another attack by the Russian Armed Forces has left people injured and killed as their homes were severely damaged in a strike while they too were still sleeping.
Today’s attack came just a week after the deadly attack in Kramatorsk and recent strikes in Kharkiv, Sumy and other regions of Ukraine, bringing loss and destruction to the people who continue to live through the horrors of Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine.
Once again, I repeat that international humanitarian law is clear: civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected.
The United Nations and the humanitarian community will continue to support the people of Ukraine.
On behalf of the United Nations and the humanitarian community, I send my sincere condolences to the bereaved families and wish those injured a speedy recovery.
