Core Truth

Russian strikes on Sumy have killed more than 30 people including two children, Ukraine’s state emergency service says.

One of the city’s residents tells the BBC that everything in his house jumped during the strikes.

Responding to the development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accuses Putin of ignoring the US ceasefire proposal.

US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, also says today’s strike “crosses any line of decency”

BBC’s Ukraine Correspondent writes “For a Ukrainian on a morning like today, the idea of peace or a ceasefire feels no closer”.

On Friday, US envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a Ukrainian peace settlement.

Fighting has raged in Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion more than three years ago.
