Details: "Heartbreaking scenes from Sumy this morning as residents gathered for Palm Sunday only to be met by Russian missiles," Kallas wrote on X (Twitter).

"Horrific example of Russia intensifying attacks while Ukraine has accepted an unconditional ceasefire. My thoughts are with the Ukrainian people today," she added.

European Council President António Costa noted that he was outraged by the criminal Russian missile attack on the centre of Sumy.

"Russia continues its campaign of violence, showing once again that this war exists and endures only because Russia chooses so. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and all those affected by yet another brutal act of aggression," Kosta tweeted.

"Those responsible for these attacks must be held accountable before justice," he added.
