The new UN coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, condemned Russia's massive attack on Ukraine on Monday, August 26, according to his statement.
According to Schmale, he spent several hours in a shelter this morning due to a wave of attacks on Ukraine by Russian troops that killed and injured civilians and caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure.
"It is unacceptable that instead of getting on with their lives, the citizens of this country are having to seek safety in metro stations and other shelters. Even in war there are rules. International humanitarian law must be respected. Civilians must be protected," emphasized the UN Humanitarian Coordinator.
