Sumy Under Fire: Russian Official's Call for Capture Sparks Outrage

Sumy Under Fire: Russian Official's Call for Capture Sparks Outrage. Sumy, Ukraine, continues to bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict. Recently, Pavel Zolotarev, head of Glushkovsky district in Russia's Kursk Oblast, publicly called for the capture of Sumy, adding fuel to the already tense situation. This provocative statement was followed by a meeting between Zolotarev and Vladimir Putin, where the issue was discussed. The video shows the devastation in Sumy, with images of damaged buildings and the aftermath of a recent attack on a civilian bus that killed nine and injured seven. "Sumy must be ours," Zolotarev stated, highlighting the aggressive intentions of some Russian officials. The attack on the bus, described as a deliberate targeting of civilian transport, underscores the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region. Despite the grim reality, the resilience of the Ukrainian people and their determination to defend their homeland remain powerful symbols of hope.
