Zelenskyy’s Reaction

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the Russian strike on Sumy.

«The Russians brutally struck Sumy. Right in the city, on ordinary streets — with rocket artillery. A completely deliberate attack on civilians. A rescue operation is currently underway. There are many injured. As of now, there is information about three killed people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. All services are engaged to assist the victims, ” the Ukrainian leader noted.

It is known that at least one MLRS projectile did not detonate. This projectile pierced the wall of a room in an ordinary apartment on the 9th floor. This is all you need to know about Russia’s «desire» to end this war.

«It is obvious that without pressure from the world, without decisive steps from the United States, Europe, and everyone in the world who has the power, Putin will not agree even to a ceasefire. Not a single day passes without Russia striking Ukrainian cities and villages. Every day we lose our people due to Russian terror. Every day Russia provides reasons to strengthen sanctions against it and increase support for our defense. And I thank everyone in the world who promotes this agenda: sanctions for aggression and the killing of people, and assistance in protecting Ukrainian lives, ” Zelenskyy assured.
