Russian Missile Strike Kills 34 Civilians in Sumy, Ukraine

A recent Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy resulted in 34 deaths and left 119 injured, marking one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in Ukraine this year. The Kremlin claimed the strike targeted Ukrainian military commanders, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as a war crime and called for international sanctions against Russia. Zelensky has invited former President Donald Trump to visit Ukraine to witness the devastation firsthand, emphasizing the dire humanitarian consequences of the invasion. Trump characterized the strike as a 'mistake' but has shifted focus towards his global tariff policies, seemingly neglecting the urgency of the situation in Ukraine. European leaders are also discussing new security guarantees and sanctions against Russia in response to the ongoing aggression. The attack coincided with Palm Sunday, exacerbating the tragedy as civilians were targeted during a religious observance.
