Thirty people, including two children, are said to have died this morning in Sumy , in northeastern Ukraine. The city, which was preparing to celebrate Palm Sunday, woke up under enemy fire, hit by a Russian missile attack that " caused many victims ", including seven children. The mayor, Artem Kobzar, announced this on Telegram, as reported by Rbc-Ukraine.
For his part, the head of the presidential office, Andriy Yermak, confirmed that the attack had caused numerous victims, without specifying the number .
At the same time, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Andriy Kovalenko, stressed that the Russians had "deliberately launched the attack on Palm Sunday to cause numerous victims."
"Enemy missiles hit an ordinary city street, everyday life: houses, schools, cars on the road... And this is happening on a day when people go to church: Palm Sunday, the feast of the Lord's entry into Jerusalem. According to preliminary data, dozens of civilians were killed and wounded. Only a bastard could behave like this." This is what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram, calling for a "strong global response."
A position that should come from "the United States, Europe, everyone in the world who wants to end this war and these killings . Russia wants exactly this kind of terror and is prolonging this war. Without pressure on the aggressor, peace is impossible. Talks have never stopped ballistics and aerial bombs - the head of state stressed. We need an attitude towards Russia that a terrorist deserves. Thank you to everyone who is with Ukraine and helps us protect life".
