Ukraine Condemns Russia’s False Peace Claims After Latest Attack
Amidst US-Russia talks aimed at achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine, a Russian missile attack injured 88 people, including 17 children, in Sumy. Ukraine denounced Russia’s “hollow statements about peace,” while a proposed one-month halt to strikes on energy infrastructure remains uncertain regarding scope and implementation. Although a draft joint statement is pending approval, significant disagreements persist between Moscow and Kyiv regarding peace treaty terms, including territorial concessions and military aid. Ukraine remains deeply distrustful of any Russian commitments.
