European leaders have strongly condemned Russia after a missile strike in Ukraine's Sumy killed at least 34 civilians and wounded 117, branding it a war crime and a mockery of efforts for peace led by the U.S.

Launching two ballistic missiles on Palm Sunday, Russia targeted civilians, leading to allegations of using cluster munitions and demonstrating a dismissive stance towards ceasefire talks.
