Zelensky condemns drone strike after Russia-Ukraine talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the drone strike as a deliberate killing of civilians. He added that the “Russians could not have failed to understand what kind of vehicle they were targeting.” Meanwhile, Russia has not officially responded to the strike, though state media claimed that its forces targeted a military staging area in Sumy, BBC reports.
“There are currently seven wounded people in hospitals following a Russian drone strike on an ordinary passenger bus. The victims have suffered burns, fractures, and blast injuries. All of them are receiving the necessary medical assistance,” Zelensky wrote in a statement on X. He reiterated the country’s offer of “full and unconditional ceasefire in order to save lives”, adding “Russia retains nothing but the ability to continue killing.”
