Two trucks in a UN convoy in South Ukraine, clearly marked as humanitarian, were targeted and destroyed by drones yesterday. Thankfully, no casualties. These attacks are utterly unacceptable and highlight the daily risks faced by aid workers. #notatarget #Ukraine

Cultural protection also encompasses agricultural practices and century-old institutions as well as crucial historic climate records. Lots of commonalities and joint plans with @ICCROM DG @ArunaGujral on linking culture and agrifood transformation.
