UN warns of deteriorating security and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine is causing a humanitarian and human rights catastrophe, traumatizing a generation of children, and accelerating global food and energy crises, warns Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs. The impact of the intensifying violence on civilians remains the gravest concern, with Russian missile barrages and drone attacks across Ukraine nearly tripling in May. The UN stands ready to support all meaningful efforts to bring a just and sustainable peace to Ukraine, guided by the UN Charter, international law, and relevant General Assembly resolutions.
