The United Nations World Food Programme is one of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world. In Ukraine, it has been operating since the start of the full-scale invasion, providing food assistance to millions of people who lost their homes or live near combat zones.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that Russia launched new missile and drone strikes on Ukraine. Pavlohrad, Dnipro, Derhachi in the Kharkiv region, and other cities came under attack.
During the May 24 attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region, Russia struck Bila Tserkva with an Oreshnik missile. The military later showed the crater left by the strike.
