Commissioner: every hour cities and towns of Ukraine tremble from constant shelling and bombing

Every day and every hour since the russian invasion of our country, the cities and towns of Ukraine are shaken by constant shelling and bombing.

As a result of a missile strike by racists on the Nikolaev regional state administration it is already known about 12 dead and 33 wounded workers.

In the Donetsk region, russian troops are shelling the residential areas of Avdiivka with hail, tornado artillery and missiles from the Tochka-U tactical complex.  In the area of   the industrial zone recorded strikes using phosphate munitions.

The city has been living without water for a month, without heating for three weeks and without electricity for 24 hours.

In Mariupol, the occupiers fired on the field office of the EU Advisory Mission.

In the Luhansk region today, heavy weapons are being fired on residential houses in one of the districts of Lysychansk.  There is significant destruction of high-rise buildings.  Information on the number of dead and wounded is being clarified.  There are a lot of blockages.

Severodonetsk, Rubizhne, Popasna and Kreminna came under fire at night. About 16 civilian objects were damaged.

The russians are creating a humanitarian crisis in Luhansk region.  In Rubizhne and Severodonetsk, as a result of targeted shelling, food stores were set on fire and a powerful power line connecting the cities of Luhansk region was damaged.

Severodonetsk is completely without electricity, pumping stations are disconnected from the power supply, there is no centralized water supply.

In the Khmelnytsky region, three missile strikes were carried out on industrial facilities of the region last night.

In the Kharkiv region, 180 hail attacks, 39 artillery and mortar shellings per day.  Damaged houses, trade facilities, civilian infrastructure.

Kherson region: strong explosions and shelling continue in different areas of the region.  The occupiers are destroying infrastructure and residential buildings.  There are dead and wounded civilians.

I call on the international community to take targeted action and increase sanctions pressure to curb the aggression of the Russian Federation and force it to cease hostilities on Ukrainian territory.

 I ask NATO member states to close the skies over Ukraine!
