Ukraine Humanitarian Coordinator Denise Brown strongly condemned the attack on a shopping center in Kharkiv on Saturday.
“I am shocked and shocked by the horrific news coming out of Kharkov,” Brown said in a statement. “Today, in broad daylight, while people, despite the nightmares they face daily in this city, were trying to go about their business, their lives were disrupted by another attack by the Russian Armed Forces.”
According to the UN in Ukraine, the attack hit a busy shopping center, killing dozens of civilians and causing serious damage to civilian objects.
“This is completely unacceptable “,” Brown emphasized.

According to the UN representative, attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on civilians and civilian infrastructure must stop.
