The UN Human Rights Office warned of the far-reaching human rights consequences of the attacks by the Russian Federation on Ukraine’s grain infrastructure

Since 11 July, the Russian Federation has carried out 14 such attacks, hitting grain terminals, warehouses, port infrastructure, industrial equipment and administrative buildings. The strikes also disrupted Ukraine’s global food supply lines. HRMMU has verified the deaths of four civilians and the injury of 43 others resulting from these attacks.

“These attacks cause not only immeasurable human suffering and loss for families, but also have a broader impact on livelihoods, farmers, communities and businesses in Ukraine and beyond,” said Danielle Bell, the Head of the HRMMU.

HRMMU, according to its mandate, will continue to monitor and assess the impact of these strikes.
