on Palm Sunday, a Russian ballistic missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy resulted in at least 30 people killed and over 80 wounded. According to officials, the missiles struck the heart of the city in the early hours as people gathered to celebrate Palm Sunday, the first day of the Christian Holy Week. One of the missiles hit a bus full of passengers. Among those killed are children. Commenting on the attack, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said: “It is crucial that the world does not stay silent or indifferent. Russian strikes deserve nothing but condemnation. There must be pressure on Russia to end the war and guarantee security for people. Without truly strong pressure, without sufficient support for Ukraine, Russia will continue dragging this war out. It’s now the second month that Putin has been ignoring the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. Unfortunately, there in Moscow, they are convinced they can keep killing with impunity. Action is needed to change this situation.”
More than three years into the war, Russia’s atrocities do not see an end. Despite some conversations in relation to the peace agreement, no significant progress has been made. A month ago, Ukraine signed a 30-day ceasefire that Washington proposed. However, the opposite has been noticed, with Russia escalating its bombardment of Ukrainian cities, firing 70 missiles and 2,200 drones.
