On Palm Sunday, April 13, Russian invaders attacked Sumy. And as a result of the missile strike, there were many deaths.
This was announced by the acting mayor of Sumy , Artem Kobzar.
"Today, as a result of a missile strike, there are many dead... The enemy has again struck the civilian population," the mayor noted.
And then he added:
"On this bright day of Palm Sunday, our community suffered a terrible tragedy. The enemy launched a missile strike on civilians. Unfortunately, more than 20 deaths are already known..."
At the same time, the information about the victims in Sumy was confirmed by the head of the President's Office , Andriy Yermak .
"The Russians hit the city of Sumy with missiles, killing civilians," the politician said.
Meanwhile, "Suspilne" reported that a child was injured as a result of a rocket attack in Sumy.
And the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, emphasized that the Russians deliberately hit civilians in Sumy with missiles on Palm Sunday so that there would be many victims.
"And this is after Witkoff's visit to Moscow to see Putin. The previous time Kryvyi Rih, when many children died, was hit after Dmitriev's visit to Washington, who also met with Witkoff. Russia builds all its so-called diplomacy and racket around strikes on civilians," the head of the Central Military Commission commented.
We previously wrote that in March, the number of victims of a missile strike on Sumy increased to 88, including 17 children.
