Russia continues cruel offensive: civilians in danger!

In Ukraine, the military conflicts continue to increase, especially in the Sumy region. A civilian was killed in the city of Bilopilja today while a woman was injured in the serious attacks. The residential buildings in the area suffered considerable damage from the shelling, which also led to destruction in other communities in the region. These developments are confirmed by the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, who reported that Russia has brought together around 50,000 soldiers for a possible advance into the region. According to [Kleine Zeitung] (https://www.kleinezeitung.at/service/newsticker/aussenpolitik/19740560/russland-nmt-weiter ,-in-ukraine-ein), three civilians were also injured in the Dnipropetrovsk industrial region. The attacks also left destroyed houses and 30 damaged solar panels that are important for energy supply.

The situation is also complicative by the recent reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense, which reported 48 Ukrainian fight drones, including three above the Moscow area. In Moscow, debris from drones were thrown onto a residential building on the Wernadski brochure, which led to facade damage. Also in the suburb of Odinzowo, falling debris caused damage to a vehicle, but there were no injuries in both cases.

Humanitarian crisis and human rights violations

The progressive military conflicts have triggered a severe humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. A new report by Human Rights Watch documents that the war leads to considerable suffering among the civilian population. Russian armed forces are accused of having committed war crimes and crimes against humanity that range from torture to executions to the disappearance of people.

The attacks on civilian areas and the energy infrastructure have led to millions of households without electricity, water and heating. Over 14 million Ukrainians have left their houses, including around 6.5 million inland and 5 million refugees in Europe. In the first years of the war, the UN documented at least 6,919 civilian fatalities and over 11,000 wounded. The humanitarian situation is particularly worrying for people with disabilities and older residents who suffer from the destruction.

violation of human rights and outlook

In addition, the use of explosive weapons is critical by both parties to the conflict, with civilians being attacked in escape vehicles and over 2,700 educational institutions were badly damaged. Reports of mass portations by Ukrainians by Russian armed forces throw an alarming light on the ongoing human rights violations. Multilateral organizations and governments worldwide are trying to account for these war crimes.

The continued fights and the resulting humanitarian crises are a dark picture of the situation in Ukraine, where the civilian population suffers from life -threatening circumstances.
