Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing international condemnation after a missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy killed 34 people and injured over 110. The attack, one of the deadliest in recent months, occurred despite Ukraine's agreement to a ceasefire, prompting accusations from Poland and EU leaders that Putin is mocking peace efforts and former U.S. President Donald Trump's goodwill.
Russia claims the strike targeted Ukrainian military commanders, but civilian casualties, including children, have sparked outrage. European leaders are calling for new sanctions against Russia, labeling the attack a war crime.
The incident underscores growing tensions and skepticism over Russia's intentions in the ongoing conflict.

The West cries foul every time Russia defends itself—if Sumy was a legit military target, then so be it; war isn't a game.
This is exactly why Europe needs to speak with one voice on foreign policy and defense. As long as we’re fragmented, Putin will keep exploiting our divisions and treating diplomatic efforts like a joke. A truly federal Europe could stand up to this aggression with real power and unity.
