Trump calls Russia's deadly Sumy missile strike 'a mistake'

Following a deadly Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy that killed over 30 civilians, former President Donald Trump described the attack as a 'mistake,' while emphasizing the overall horror of the war. Trump stated he was informed that the strike was an error but refrained from directly blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin. In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Trump to visit Ukraine to witness the devastation caused by the war firsthand and to better understand the aggressions of Russia. Zelensky warned of the potential escalation into a world war if Putin's actions are not checked, criticizing the U.S. for being misled by Russian narratives. He called for continued pressure on Russia and reiterated the need for security guarantees for Ukraine. The situation in Sumy involved significant civilian casualties as people gathered to celebrate Palm Sunday, highlighting the war's tragic impact on innocent lives.
