Gigantic, rolling cloud of black smoke spilled from the parking lot of burning cars, while the residents were grinding on the sidewalk in trouble, and the police and fire vehicles passed. Then the scene became even more chaotic.
“Shelter! Shelter!” shouted the cop. A thin, buzzing noise, like a chain of chicken in the distance, descended from the sky. Another Russian exploding unmanned spacecraft, like the one who just hit the parking lot, flew over his head. People ran after the cover.
“That’s right every day,” said Mayor Artem Kobzar, who visited a place in Sumy, Ukraine, and entered the open door of the apartment building. “Everyone in Ukraine wants peace,” he said. “But you see, summarized, we don’t have a day or night peace.”
This bombing came on Monday, the day after two Balistic missiles hit the central neighborhood of the city on Palm on Sunday, shortly after 10am, killing 34 civilians, including two children, and wounding another 117, according to the Sumy City Council. Russia said it hit a military target; Ukrainian regional governor said that a military awards ceremony was held in the city that day.
The bombing of Palm Sunday followed more than two months after President Trump began to stop stopping by calling President Vladimir V. Putin from Russia. And in recent days he has become an argument in Ukraine and elsewhere for these conversations to fail. In short, the attack has launched a preparation for a possible new Russian attack on Earth in this region.
Last month, Mr. Trump briefly stopped military and intelligence to press Ukraine to talk about the interruption of fire, and at the same time tried to bring Russia to an agreement with incentives for renewed economic cooperation. Ukraine agreed with unconditional dedication fire, while Russia is negotiating for sanctions of relief and other concessions.
In an e example of the oval office on Monday, Mr. Trump blamed the war of former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and Mr. Putin. The war would not have started, he said, “If Biden was competent, and that Zelensky was competent, and I don’t know it is.”
“We had a rough session with that guy,” he added. “He was just constantly looking for more and more.”
From the interview of the interruption of the fire, he said, “I want to stop the murder and I think we are doing well in this regard.”
European leaders, including President Emmanuel Macron of France, have firmly condemned civil deaths on strike. Mr. Trump, speaking to the aircraft journalists on Sunday, called the attack “terrible things.” He also said, “I was told they were wrong.” Mr. Zelensky pointed to the loss of life as proof that Russia is not serious in peace negotiations.
“Thirty -four days ago, Ukraine responded positively to the US proposal for complete and unconditional dedication fire,” Mr. Zelensky said on Monday. Russia, he said, “remains focused on the continuation of the war.”
Ukraine reports on the rise in the impact of drones throughout the country, and Sumy is especially on the edge – and disappointed in the settlement negotiations. A sense of living under the barge in this city-lace hinterland hundreds of churches and residential blocks along the leafy paths of fear, continuous tension and corrupt nerves. Each week, one or the other building blows in Smithereens from the heavens screws.
The city, in the northeast of Ukraine, is located near the border and the center of Ukrainian military activity, and lies under the routes flying exploding unmanned aircraft that went deeper into Ukraine. The confusation of their engine in the sky is a night background for a living here. Little is believed in the interruption of the fire.
On the streets on Monday, at the Palm Sunday attack site, Rovocopac scraped the layers of debris demolished buildings, as the rescuers sought additional victims, mixing the dust clouds. Air attack threats have repeatedly disturbed cleaning work in the area, spreading burned cars and brick baking on sidewalks. The bereaved crossed the snacks of broken glass and blood points on the sidewalk to lay the flowers on memorial.
Little here saw the mistake Mr. Trump mentioned, given that two ballistic missiles were fired.
The rockets separated in about three minutes, in apparent coordination for the so -called double stroke. The tactics of firing two ammunitions consecutively on the same target can be intended to worsen the ambulance workers or people who have pulled out of the ruins, maximizing the victims.
The double faucet is scary experiences for those who have been caught in them.
On Sunday, in the middle of the dust and screaming of the car after the first blow, Viktoria Rudyk, 37, knelt on the sidewalk, pressing her hands on the hole in her 6-year-old daughter Elina, she said in an interview on Tuesday. Like others who tend to be wounded, she could not escape from the scene. The car passing stopped, she said, and loaded her mother and daughter to take them to the hospital – only on time, while the other touch hit and rained over the event, and the ruins were bumped off the roof of the car. Doctors removed a metal piece from the girl’s lungs.
The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei V. Lavrov, said that on Sunday on Sunday, a meeting of Ukrainian and Western military officials hit the meeting on Sunday. The Governor of the Sumy region, Volodymyr Artyukh, said he participated in the ceremony on Sunday, which he paid tribute to the soldiers. This suggested a possible strike, despite a bunch of civilians nearby. On Tuesday, the Green Political Party said that the Government had rejected Mr. Artyukh, but did not explain why.
The Ukrainian headquarters of the General Staff announced on Tuesday that the attack on the Palm Sunday strike on the Russian headquarters of the unit, which he said, had launched rockets. The strike could not be confirmed independently.
Tytyan Marunchak, a kindergarten teacher, returned from communion in the church on Sunday when her son Ivan, who is 13, asked to meet a friend to play. After the first explosion, she said in an interview on Tuesday, she called him. He said he was not injured. But after the second explosion, he did not pick up.
John was caught in a spray of serrated, metal pieces of shrapnel that burst out of the rocket, breaking his lungs and piercing his leg. His friend, who hit his stomach with Srapnel, still ran for help.
“The kids aren’t guilty,” Mrs. Marunchak said, crying to the hospital on Tuesday. She said her son’s leg could be amputated. “I don’t believe in a dedication fire anymore,” she said. From the engagement of Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin, she said in conversations, “They are just devils.”
On Monday, the bombing in the parking lot did not include a double faucet, but Russia has attacked Sumy with various such blows in recent months. Usually, another rocket or drones are released with a gap of about 20 minutes, to catch emergency medical workers while arriving and cheering, said Oleh Strill, a spokesman for the Ukraine State Emergency. But variations are rich and risks are great.
For example, a double strike last month, aimed at the entrance to the bomb shelter at a hospital in a nearby city to hit people who candidate for security, said Mr. Strilka, on an account confirmed with a neighbor. The second strike was blowing into the door of a bomb shelter, captured people inside, although no one was killed. Closer to the border, Russia was targeting firefighting vehicles with a small exploding unmanned spacecraft floating over the roads after the artillery shelling of the fire, Mr. Strilka said. Fire crews generally stopped responding.
On Monday, four cafes employees were called Beapy Walk together to lay pink and white roses on a bunch of bouquets in the middle of the debris of Palm Sunday Strike, where a chef and chef was killed. The group cried and hugged.
There are no signs of primary fire, said Diana Khaitova, 22, a server, who found the bodies of her dead colleagues lying on the street on the day of the strike. People in the city, she said, “just always afraid.”
