The Ukrainian government has denounced that a Russian air attack has left at least 21 dead and 20 injured in the city of Sumy, in the northeast of the country, near the border with Russia.
The Interior Minister of Ukraine, Igor Klimenko, has reported in his telegram messaging platform account that several ballistic missiles have impact this morning in the city center.
The impact zone was crowded with people who at that time were celebrating on Ramos Sunday, added the minister, who has asked the population to refrain from going to the areas reached to facilitate the evacuation and attention to the injured.
The president of the country, Volodimir Zelenski, has already denounced “the terrible attack with Russian ballistic missiles.” “Only an unclean scum can act like this, snatching life from common people,” said the Ukrainian president.
“Without pressure on Russia, peace is impossible. Conversations have never stopped ballistic missiles or aerial bombs. What is needed is an attitude towards Russia that a terrorist deserves,” he added.
Russia has not yet pronounced on this incident.
