Zelensky urges Trump to visit Ukraine ahead of deal with Russia

Ukraine President Voludmir Zelinski Donald Trump called for his country before any deal with Russia to end the war.

“Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of negotiations, comes to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, destroyed or dead children,” Zelinski said in an interview with the CBS 60 minutes.

The interview was recorded before the destroyed Russian missiles on Sunday on the Ukrainian city of Sumi, which killed 34 people – including two children – and 117 others were wounded.

Trump described the attack as a “terrible thing” while a German advisor was accused of waiting, Fredchiich Mirz, Russia of the crime of war.

There was no immediate official comment on the attack by Russia, whose forces are said to be a major attack.

This attack comes at a time when the United States, and it is the most powerful military ally in Ukraine, follows an end to the war – now in its fourth year – by negotiating during the Trump era.

When asked about the attack, the American president said he was “terrible” and that “they were told that they made a mistake,” but he did not explain.

Earlier, Trump’s private envoy to Ukraine, retired Litanant Keith Keel, said the attack had via “any line of decency.”

Mirz, who is expected to take over the new German advisor next month, told the German public broadcaster ARD that the attack on Sumi constitutes a “serious war crime”.

The conservative politician said: “It was a mysterious act … It is a dangerous, intentional and intended war crime.”

At the same time, the outgoing adviser in Germany, Olaf Schulz, said that the attack showed “what is the supposed preparation of Russia for peace [was] He deserves”.

French President Emmanuel Macron accused Russia of “a flagrant disregard for human life, international law, and the diplomatic efforts of President Trump.”

“Strong measures are needed to impose a ceasefire on Russia,” he said. “France works tirelessly towards this goal, along with its partners.”

Describing the attack as “barbarian”, European Commission President Ursula von der Lin added: “Russia was and still is the aggressor, in flagrant violation of international law.

“There is an urgent need for strong measures to enforce the ceasefire. Europe will continue to communicate with partners and maintain strong pressure on Russia until bloodshed ends and a permanent and durable peace is achieved, according to Ukraine’s conditions.”

British Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer also presented a view, saying that he was “horrific in Russia’s horrific attacks on civilians in Sumi.”

A spokesman for the United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said that he “is very anxious and shocked” to find out the missile attack.

“The attacks against civilians and civilian things are prohibited under international humanitarian law, and that any such attacks, wherever they occur, must end immediately,” he added.

Guterres emphasized the United Nations support for “the meaningful efforts towards a just, lasting and comprehensive peace that completely supports Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and regional integrity.”

On Sunday, the double missile strike was the bloodiest attack on civilians in Ukraine this year.

Another Russian missile attack, earlier this month, was killed on April 4, 20 people and 61 wounded in the city of Kreifi Ree.

On that occasion, the Russian Ministry of Defense said it had targeted a meeting of “Western Unit and Training Leaders” in a restaurant. No evidence was provided.

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people – the vast majority of them soldiers – have been killed or wounded from all sides since Russia launched a large -scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

The conflict dates back to more than a decade, until 2014, when the pro -Russian President of Ukraine was overthrown. After that, Russia included the Black Crimea Peninsula and supported the rebels in bloody fighting in eastern Ukraine.
