Missile strikes on Ukraine

The Russian occupiers have renewed their missile terror against Ukrainians with redoubled force.

In early April, Kryvyi Rih was hit. 19 people died, including 9 children.

And on Palm Sunday, the Russian Federation struck the center of Sumy with its most brutal attack. Then, the Russians killed more than 30 people. European leaders condemned the attack and expressed their indignation. But US President Donald Trump called the attack a “mistake” by the Russians.
