A Russian missile strike in the Ukrainian city of Sumy killed 21 people and wounded 83, sparking condemnation from President Zelenskyy. The attack comes amid tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, with both sides accusing each other of violating a moratorium on energy infrastructure attacks brokered by the US. Diplomatic efforts have yielded little progress, with a recent meeting between Putin and US special envoy Witkoff remaining secretive. Zelenskyy has called on Europe and the US to respond firmly to Russia’s actions, as he believes peace is impossible without pressure on Moscow. Despite attempts at diplomacy, including a recent conference in Turkey, accusations of violations persist on both sides. Russia currently holds about 20% of Ukrainian territory following a full-scale invasion in February 2022. Zelenskyy insists on being involved in talks regarding Ukraine’s future, while Russia claims Ukraine has been the aggressor in the conflict. The Sumy attack has raised doubts about Russia’s commitment to a peaceful resolution, with both sides trading accusations of attacks on civilians and violations of ceasefire agreements. The situation remains tense, with no clear path to ending the conflict in sight.
