The strike on Sumy was one of the deadliest of the entire war AFP Russia said Monday that its missiles hit a meeting of Ukrainian army commanders in Sumy, accusing Ukraine of using civilians as a "human shield" after Kyiv said the attack Sunday killed at least 34 people in one of the deadliest strikes of the entire war. Russia's attack drew condemnation and accusations of "war crimes" from leaders around the world, though US President Donald Trump -- who is pushing for a ceasefire -- called it a "horrible thing" and suggested Russia had "made a mistake". Commenting on the strike for the first time after more than 24 hours, Russia's defence ministry said its army launched two ballistic Iskander-M missiles at "the place of a meeting of command staff", claiming that it had killed 60 Ukrainian soldiers.
