After the fatal Russian rocket attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy with at least 34 dead on Palm Sunday, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Senskyj invited US President Donald Trump to visit the war. Senskyj appealed, Trump should take a picture of the size of the destruction-the American president, but left a lot open.
In an interview with the American broadcaster CBS, Senskyj said: “Come and look at people -citizens, soldiers, children -who were killed or injured.” The rockets touch Sumy on Sunday. According to rescue workers, 117 people were also injured, including at least 15 children.
Trump does not mention Putin’s responsibility
Trump called the attack on board on board the Air Force one “something terrible”. He did not mention Russia by name. Also on his Platform Truth Social, Trump did not take direct responsibility, but pointed out that the war was “Bidens War”, which would never have started during his first term. He explained that he “had nothing to do with this war”, but is working on “killing and ending the destruction”.
EU foreign officer: “Maximum pressure”
While Trump’s words in the United States cause discussions, various top European politicians called for more determined action. EU outside country representative Kaja Kallas called for “maximum pressure” on Russia to force a diplomatic solution. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria Beate Meinl Reisinger also spoke about a “brutal attack” that makes it clear that Russia is currently not interested in a ceasefire.
Secretary -General António Guterres of the UN strongly pronounced the attack. In recent weeks he spoke about a “devastating pattern of similar attacks”. Attacking on citizens are “prohibited according to international law” and should stop immediately. Church representatives were also shocked – the bombing touched believers on prayer on Palm Sunday.
Meeting with Putin, dispute about ceases -furen
Sumy only attacked Sumy two days after a meeting of the American specialist Steve Witkoff with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nothing is known about the content of the conversations. Trump had previously said that the negotiations went well.
Russia now accused Ukraine of violations of a limited moratorium for mutual attacks on energy systems. It is open whether this will be extended until after 16 April. At the same time, both parties reported huge nocturnal drone attacks.
