External commentators, including Trump's envoy, condemned the attack as crossing a line of decency, underscoring the brutal targeting of civilians.
The colossal cruelty of Russian terror. This morning, two missile strikes were launched at the center of Sumy. It was the second strike, with a ballistic missile, that resulted in human casualties.
According to preliminary conclusions, most of the civilian casualties were caused by these shrapnel elements. The explosion occurred approximately 200 meters from the first impact site, in an area with residential buildings, educational institutions, and shops.
Today's Palm Sunday attack by Russian forces on civilian targets in Sumy crosses any line of decency. There are scores of civilian dead and wounded.
Today, as a result of the missile strike, there are many dead... The enemy struck again at the peaceful population.
