Russian Missile Strike on Sumy Kills 34, Intensifies Calls for Ceasefire

The attack, described as a war crime by global leaders, has prompted Zelenskyy to urge Trump to visit Ukraine and assess the devastation firsthand.

• Two Russian ballistic missiles struck the city center of Sumy on Palm Sunday, killing 34 people, including two children, and injuring 117 others.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has invited U.S. President Donald Trump to visit Ukraine to witness the destruction caused by the invasion.
• While Trump condemned the strike as 'terrible' and suggested it was a 'mistake,' European leaders labeled it a deliberate war crime and called for tougher sanctions on Russia.
• Russia claimed the missiles targeted a meeting of Ukrainian military officers and accused Ukraine of using civilians as human shields, a claim Ukrainian officials dispute.
• The strike has reignited international demands for an immediate ceasefire and increased pressure on Russia to halt its military campaign in Ukraine.
