UN Warns Russian Drone Attacks Threaten Civilians and Aid Efforts in Ukraine
UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher highlighted the growing threat posed by Russian drones targeting civilians and aid workers in Ukraine, particularly in Kherson, where the city is divided by an active frontline. These attacks hinder humanitarian efforts and endanger local organizations, which conduct most aid operations. Fletcher emphasized the need for over USD 2 billion in humanitarian funding this year, citing winter and damaged infrastructure as major concerns, while noting weak accountability for attacks on aid workers.
