Ukraine said more than two dozen people were killed and scores injured after Russian missiles struck the city of Sumy, days after US envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the war.

Two ballistic missiles hit the center of the city, in northeastern Ukraine, on Palm Sunday morning, the city’s regional administration said on its Telegram channel.
