A recent Russian missile attack in Sumy during a military awards ceremony left at least 35 civilians dead and over 100 injured. Ukrainian soldier Oleksandr described the traumatic event as he and fellow soldiers remained safe underground while civilians suffered outside. The incident intensified Ukrainian anger towards Russia's continued aggression and fed distrust in U.S. negotiation efforts with Moscow—particularly amidst a backdrop of ongoing military talks led by the Trump administration. The attack reflects the grim reality of the conflict, underscoring the human toll of military decisions.
The Russian missile attack on the center of this crowded city on Palm Sunday killed 35 people and wounded more than 100 others, almost all of them civilians, according to local authorities.
While the soldiers sat safely underground waiting for the all clear, Oleksandr's wife used her hand to plug their 6-year-old's shrapnel wound as the girl's lung filled with blood.
