UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine Denise Brown condemned the strikes, which killed and injured aid workers.

"I am deeply saddened by the tragic news that two humanitarian workers from the NGO HEKS/EPER were killed and others injured in a strike on February 1 in southern Ukraine. My thoughts are with their families and colleagues at this terrible time. I was shocked to learn that their vehicles had been targeted similarly to the tragic incident in Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine just a week ago, when a humanitarian aid vehicle was hit and a humanitarian worker was injured," Brown said.

She said that last year 50 humanitarian workers were killed or injured in Ukraine, 11 of them died while performing their duties.

"Since the beginning of the year, these constant attacks seem to have even increased. In January alone, five humanitarian workers were injured. And this comes at a time when people in frontline communities are already facing a complicated humanitarian situation, as the Russian Federation's invasion has affected all aspects of their daily lives," Brown said.

"International humanitarian law prohibits the targeting of humanitarian workers. The persistent violation of international humanitarian law must be the subject of constant attention in the world," she said.

As reported, on February 1, it became known that as a result of the Russian strike on Beryslav, two volunteers, French citizens, were killed, and three more foreign citizens received minor injuries.
