“Everyone knows it: this war was started by Russia alone. And today, it is clear that Russia alone chooses to continue – with clear contempt for human life, international law and diplomatic efforts” of the President of the United States Donald Trump, wrote in a note.

The mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, said that a Russian strike struck one of the city kindergartens, shattering the windows and damaging the facade of the building. No victims have been reported.
Spring offensive fears despite the peace talks
The strikes arrived a day after Russia and the senior diplomats of Ukraine accused each other from violating a provisional agreement for the US broker to pause the strikes on energy infrastructures, underlining the challenges of the negotiation of the end of the three -year war.
The foreign ministers of the two countries spoke in separated events at the Annual Antalya diplomacy forum one day after the US correspondent Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss peace prospects.

“The Ukrainians attacked us from the beginning, every day that passes, perhaps with two or three exceptions,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, adding that Moscow would provide the United States, Turkey and the international bodies with a list of Kiev attacks in the last three weeks.
His Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, contested this statement, saying in the weekend that Russia had launched almost 70 missiles, over 2200 drones that explode and over 6000 guided air bombs in Ukraine, “mainly to civilians” since he agreed with the limited breaks on strikes.
Russian forces maintain the advantage in the war and Kyiv warned that Moscow is planning a new offensive of the northern spring to increase the pressure on its enemy and improve its negotiation position.

Ukraine has approved a wider proposal of ceased the fire of the United States, but Russia has actually blocked it by imposing wider conditions. European governments have accused Putin of dragging their feet.
The retired lieutenant Keith Kellogg, a special correspondent for Trump in Ukraine and Russia, said that Sumy’s attack has crossed “any line of decency” and that the White House was committed to ending the conflict.
“There are dozens of civil and injured deaths. As a former military leader, I understand the targeting, and this is wrong,” he said.
The United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio defined the “horrible” attack and said he offered “a tragic reminder” of why the administration was trying to end the war in favor of “a just and lasting peace”.
Strokes also on Gaza
In the meantime, a wave of Israeli blows through Gaza on Palm’s Sunday hit a hospital and other sites, killing at least 21 people, including children, while Israel promised to expand his presence of safety in the small coastal strip.
The Predawn strike in the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City was the last of several attacks on the latest large hospital of Gaza northern that provides critical health care.
The director of the hospital, dr. Fadel Naim, said that the emergency room, pharmacy and surrounding buildings were seriously damaged, hitting over 100 patients and dozens of staff.
A patient, a girl, died during the evacuation following an Israeli warning because the staff were unable to provide urgent care, said the Ministry of Health of Gaza. Israel said she hit a Hamas command and control center in the hospital, without providing tests. Hamas denied the accusations.

The Al-Ahli hospital is managed by the episcopal diocese of Jerusalem, who condemned the attack, saying in a declaration that happened in “Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, the most sacred week of the Christian year”.
Palma’s Sunday commemorates Jesus’ entrance to Jerusalem and the worshipers in the city of Gaza marked him in a church whose golden finishes and intact walls were a contrast with the debris spread elsewhere.
