Attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure & economy require more than humanitarian assistance.
Marking the @UN 81st anniversary, we joined @MFA_Ukraine & partners to discuss essential services, recovery & long-term solutions.
🤝Thank you to all our partners for their cooperation!

UN Humanitarian Coordinator @matzschmale condemns today’s Russian attack on Dnipro’s main railway station, which killed over a dozen civilians.

Earlier today a Russian jet-powered drone struck the main railway station in Dnipro in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 13 people according to local reports. This appears to be one of the deadliest attacks on a railway facility in years. Our team is on the ground to gather more information about the attack.

Just 20 km from the frontline, reaching Derhachi in #Kharkiv region is becoming increasingly dangerous due to drone attacks, and delivering essential supplies is growing more difficult.
To support families living there, @UNICEF with @WFPUkraine and parnters delivered hygiene and food kits to families across 15 settlements of the community.

Over the past three days, repeated attacks on Sloviansk in #Donetsk Region have reportedly killed several civilians and injured over 20 others.
Aid workers provided emergency assistance to those affected, including shelter materials, and helped residents cover shattered windows.

Privilege to work with national and international colleagues from 20 @UN_Ukraine agencies who despite hardship show up day in / day out for Ukraine's people.
At townhall yesterday we discussed how we can keep safe to serve better & reaffirmed our commitment to stay and deliver!

Over the past week, attacks in front-line areas have harmed aid workers and affected humanitarian operations, impacting life-saving evacuations and the delivery of aid.
As humanitarians remain committed to helping those in need, they themselves should be protected. #NotATarget
Matthias Schmale retweeted
For millions across #Ukraine, the threat of another attack is part of everyday life. But it should never become normal❗️
Every civilian deserves safety, at home & beyond.

Yesterday, a vehicle of UNHCR’s partner @charity_aos, clearly marked with humanitarian identification signs, was struck by an FPV drone in Kramatorsk district in Donetsk region after the team had delivered aid. Humanitarians workers must be protected. #NotATarget
Today, our Foundation’s team and vehicle were once again targeted by an FPV drone.
Humanitarian organisations must not be targeted. They are #NotATarget

Yesterday @WFP partner warehouse in Kharkiv region was attacked.
2 people were injured & remain in stable condition. 1,950 food boxes intended for people in Donetsk region were damaged, putting vital food aid at risk.
Humanitarian workers, facilities & aid must never be targeted.

Another night of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces. In #Kyiv, #Lutsk and #Rivne, civilians were killed and injured. Several power plants were reportedly struck ahead of winter.
Humanitarian Coordinator @matzschmale says respect for IHL requires that civilians are protected.

#OCHAThanks #Estonia 🇪🇪🇺🇳 for its contribution of almost $60K to the #UkraineHumanitarianFund in 2026.
Your contribution will help us support vulnerable people in #Ukraine during the winter through local NGOs.
