Last week, a World Health Organization (WHO) warehouse in Dnipro, Ukraine, was “struck and destroyed,” according to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of WHO.
In a statement published on X, Tedros claimed that no casualties had been reported and that a team of “a WHO staff member and drivers” was able to evacuate 130 of approximately 300 pallets” earlier in the day, suggesting that the WHO potentially knew of the attack before it occurred.
The warehouse is said to have “held humanitarian medical supplies intended for frontline health facilities — primarily WHO emergency health supplies.”

A community note was added to the post attributing the attack to Russia; however, the WHO statement on the attack fails to identify a specific attacker. The sources cited by X Community Notes link to Politico, Ukrainska Pravda, Kyiv Independent, The Independent, and Liga.net, but none cite any specific source attributing the attack to Russia.
The Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, posted on X that “Russia struck a WHO humanitarian warehouse in Dnipro storing essential medicines intended for hospitals and frontline areas. Russia must be held fully accountable for such attacks.”
The WHO appeared to have had foreknowledge of the attack, as it had initiated an evacuation of supplies beforehand; however, the WHO statement makes no mention of the source of the attack. A “bot swarm” of accounts responded to the WHO’s statement, calling for the WHO to name Russia as the perpetrator, but to no avail.
BRICS News on X, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Watcher.Guru account, posted, “JUST IN: Russia Strikes WHO warehouse in Ukraine,” but did not cite a source for the claim.

President Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization when he reassumed the Oval Office on January 20th, 2025, with Executive Order 14155, saying, the “World Health Organization ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore” in reference to the roughly $500 million the United States had been contributing, compared to China’s $39 million.
