The recent strikes by Russian occupiers on Pokrovsk are absolutely ruthless and violate any principles of humanity, according to the statement by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Denise Brown.
"It is absolutely ruthless to hit the same location twice in the space of minutes, causing the death and injury of people who had quickly come to help the survivors," she wrote.
According to her, such an attack constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law and the principles of humanity.
