UN Urges Russia to Halt Attacks on Ukraine's Energy Facilities

The United Nations has called on Russia to stop its attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine, which have left hundreds of thousands of civilians without electricity and heating during the coldest winter of the four-year war. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemns the targeting of civilian infrastructure, which is prohibited under international humanitarian law. The call to Russia comes after another large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
