Trump’s Special Envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, condemned today’s Russian ballistic missile strike on Sumy, which killed and injured many civilians. He called the Palm Sunday attack "crosses any line of decency."
"Today's Palm Sunday attack by Russian forces on civilian targets in Sumy crosses any line of decency. There are scores of civilian dead and wounded," Kellogg wrote on X.
He added that, as a former military leader, he understands what deliberate strikes mean. And this, he stressed, is simply wrong.
"It is why President Trump is working hard to end this war," Kellogg concluded.
