Milan, June 3 (LaPresse) – "The Russians brutally attacked Sumy. Simply the city, on ordinary streets, with artillery rockets. An absolutely deliberate attack against civilians." This is what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on Telegram, once again calling for sanctions against Russia and pressure on Vladimir Putin from the world. "A rescue operation is underway. Many injured. So far, 3 people have died. My condolences to the families and friends. All services are mobilized to help all victims," Zelensky added, explaining that "it is known that at least one MLRS (multiple launch rocket system) rocket did not explode," but "it pierced the wall of a room in a normal apartment on the ninth floor." This is "everything you need to know about the Russian 'desire' to end this war," Zelensky said. "It is obvious that without pressure from the world, without decisive steps from the United States, Europe, and all those who have power in the world, Putin will not even accept a ceasefire. Not a day goes by without Russia attacking cities and villages in Ukraine," Zelensky continued, "every day Russia gives reasons to toughen sanctions and increase support for our defense." "I thank everyone around the world who is promoting exactly this program: sanctions for aggression and killing people, help to protect the lives of Ukrainians," concluded the Ukrainian president.
