What did the DIU manage to learn about the Russian attack on Sumy?
Another war crime of Russia — ballistic missile strike on Sumy, killing of Ukrainian civilians. Many people went to churches on Palm Sunday, some were returning home from church services. Another proof of the godlessness of the disgusting, cursed Moscow.
