A deadly Russian ballistic missile strike in the Ukrainian city of Sumy resulted in at least 21 deaths and 83 injuries, leading to increased tensions between Moscow and Kyiv. The attack came despite diplomatic efforts by the U.S. without the involvement of Ukraine, as President Zelenskyy condemned Russia for targeting civilians on Palm Sunday. Ongoing talks between Russian President Putin and U.S. special envoy Witkoff have not yielded significant results, as Zelenskyy calls for Europe and the U.S. to take a firmer stance against Russian aggression. Despite accusations of violating a ceasefire agreement, both countries continue to blame each other for the ongoing conflict. Russia currently controls a portion of Ukraine’s territory following a full-scale invasion in February 2022, further complicating efforts to find a peaceful resolution. Zelenskyy insists on Ukraine’s involvement in any negotiations regarding its future, emphasizing the importance of international pressure on Russia to achieve lasting peace. The deadly attack in Sumy underscores the urgency of the situation, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict.
