The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is disappointed by the lack of a clear position of the Office of the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine regarding the russian missile attack on the railway station in Chaplyne on August 24, the spokesman of the ministry Oleg Nikolenko was cited as saying by suspilne.media.

The official recalled that the Ministry of Defense of the russian Federation publicly admitted to committing this war crime as a result of which twenty-five civilians, including two children, were killed.

According to Nikolenko, the UN high representative’s appeals to “all parties” to observe international humanitarian law seem disconnected from reality. Equating the victim to the aggressor is absolutely unacceptable, he emphasized.

“We expect that the UN structures, to which we are grateful for the organization of humanitarian response, will be able to take advantage of their presence in Ukraine to find out which side should comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law by bombing Chaplyne and other Ukrainian cities and villages,” the spokesman said.

Earlier, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, after russia’s attack on Chaplyny, called on “all parties” to observe international law.

As reported, relatives of prisoners of war are not satisfied with the way the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross are dealing with the case of Ukrainian prisoners of war from “Azovstal.” “They don’t do anything at all.”
