The Secretary-General "strongly condemns the ongoing attacks on major Ukrainian cities" by Russian forces, reportedly causing "a record number of civilian casualties" — more than 150 in 24 hours, including a hospital and energy facilities, with power disrupted nationwide. In the same statement he is "deeply concerned" by rising civilian casualties from Ukrainian attacks inside Russia, including the Moscow region. UN and partners assisted 1.5 million people affected by strikes, Jan–Aug.“All attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, wherever they occur, are a violation of international humanitarian law and must end immediately.”
