Trump Defends Russia’s Deadly Ukraine Strike as a “Mistake”
President Trump condemned the Sumy strike as “a horrible thing,” citing reports of a Russian mistake, though he did not explicitly blame Moscow. This attack, which killed at least 34 people, followed a recent US envoy’s visit to Russia to negotiate a ceasefire. The NSC highlighted the urgency of Trump’s peace efforts in light of the Sumy tragedy. Ukrainian President Zelensky urged Trump to witness the devastation firsthand before engaging in any negotiations.
