There are 84 known victims.

The number of injured and killed during Russia’s attack on the city of Sumy on the morning of April 13 is rising.

“Emergency services continue to work on site,” said Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.

Updated . As reported by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, 32 people have already died in Sumy, including two children. More than 80 people have been injured, including 10 children. All are being provided with the necessary assistance.

“It is very important for everyone in the world not to remain silent, not to remain indifferent. Russian strikes deserve only condemnation. Pressure on Russia is necessary to end the war and ensure the safety of people. Without really strong pressure, without proper support from Ukraine, Russia will continue to drag out this war. It has been two months since Putin ignored America’s proposal for a complete and unconditional ceasefire,” the president emphasized.

As of 1:00 p.m., it was known that 24 people, including 1 child, were killed in two Russian missile strikes on the city. 84 people, including 7 children, were injured, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported .

As noted by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, the occupiers fired rockets with cluster munitions at Sumy:

“The Russians are doing this to kill as many civilians as possible. The strike on the city of Sumy is a deliberate shelling of civilians.”

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that “such an attack on a major Christian holiday is absolute evil”:

“On the morning of Palm Sunday, as believers go to church to celebrate the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem, Russia carried out a horrific attack on a residential area of ​​the city of Sumy. Many civilians were killed and injured.”

According to him, Ukraine is already sharing detailed information about this war crime with all its partners and international institutions:

“We call on all capitals and headquarters to respond decisively… We call on partners to provide Ukraine with additional air defense assets and increase pressure on Moscow.”
