According to reports from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the night of June 1-2 saw Russian missiles and combat drones directed at multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. These sustained, unmanned attacks continued throughout the night, resulting in significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage across Ukraine. The strikes reportedly killed dozens of civilians and injured hundreds more, while also destroying numerous residential buildings, healthcare facilities, and commercial infrastructure.
The Ministry stated that the nature of these attacks constitutes a deliberate targeting of civilian populations and infrastructure. Furthermore, the report asserted that such actions represent a clear violation of international humanitarian law, qualifying as a war crime that is not subject to a statute of limitations. This latest escalation comes despite previous warnings issued by Russia, which had previously threatened strikes and advised foreign nationals, including diplomatic staff, to evacuate Kyiv.
Officials noted that these prior warnings do not mitigate or absolve Russia of responsibility for the ongoing military actions. The consistent pattern of these attacks underscores ongoing conflict tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with international bodies monitoring the severity of the damage inflicted by the Russian forces.
