Trump says ‘horrible’ Russian attack on Ukraine ‘horrible’ was a mistake

A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, which killed 34 people – including two children – and injured 117 others, has been strongly condemned by Kyiv’s Western allies.
Two ballistic missiles struck the city centre mid-morning on Sunday, exploding near the state university and congress centre, leaving bloodied bodies scattered in the streets.
US President Donald Trump described the attack as a “horrible thing” while Germany’s chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Merz, accused Russia of committing a war crime.
There was no immediate official comment on the attack from Russia, whose forces across the nearby border are said to be preparing for a major offensive.
The attack comes as the US, Ukraine’s strongest military ally, has been pursuing an end to the war – now in its fourth year – through negotiation under Trump.
