The international community must increase pressure on Russia following its deadly Palm Sunday attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address April 13. <\/p>\n

Russia attack<\/strong>ed<\/a> <\/strong> Sumy with ballistic missiles armed with cluster munitions on the morning of Palm Sunday, killing at least 34 and injuring another 117 people. Two children were killed in the attack.<\/p>\n

Zelensky thanked the “many world leaders, diplomats, (and) ordinary people” who expressed their condolences<\/strong><\/a> to Ukraine and “condemned the Russian strike.” At the same time, he remarked<\/strong><\/a> on the lack of “pressure” on Russia, which has enabled its continued attacks on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“I would like to thank everyone who remembers that wars end when the crimes of war are not forgotten \u2013 and when the aggressor is met with enough pressure. And that’s exactly what\u2019s missing right now,” Zelensky said<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While many world leaders called for increased sanctions and pressure against Moscow in the wake of the missile strike, American officials omitted such demands<\/strong><\/a> from their response, instead highlighting the importance of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace efforts. <\/p>\n

The attack hit Sumy amid Washington’s ongoing attempts to orchestrate a ceasefire<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> between Russia and Ukraine. While Kyiv agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> a month ago, \u00a0Moscow has refused and has continued to attack Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“This Friday marked exactly one month since Russia spurned the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. They are not afraid,” Zelensky said. <\/p>\n

“That’s why they keep launching ballistic missiles. That’s why there are nearly a hundred attack drones every night \u2013 most of them Shaheds \u2013 targeting ordinary Ukrainian cities. Only pressure \u2013 only decisive action \u2013 can change this.”<\/p>\n
