“The number of people killed as a result of the Russian missile attack on Sumy has increased to 12 people, Oleksiy Drozdenko, the head of the Sumy city military administration, said in a telegram. This was also reported by the regional military administration, noting that about 10 brigades of volunteer and public organizations, as well as various communal services, are working to eliminate the consequences of the Russian strike. The troops of the Russian Federation struck the residential sector of Sumy in the evening of November 17, as a result of which several buildings were damaged. Later, due to another strike, according to the local authorities, an infrastructure object was damaged, due to which the city was partially left without electricity. November 18 and 19 have been declared days of mourning in Sumy. The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles. The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities. The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
