LONDON -- A Russian ballistic missile strike on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy killed at least 34 people on Sunday morning, emergency services said, as many there celebrated Palm Sunday.

"The enemy struck the civilian population again," acting Mayor Artem Kobzar wrote on Telegram. Ukraine's State Emergency Service said that at least 34 people -- including two children -- were confirmed killed, with 117 others injured, including 15 children. Two missiles struck the center of the city, authorities said.

A day after the massive attack, President Donald Trump repeated familiar talking points blaming Ukraine for Russia's invasion and claimed his predecessor and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "did an absolutely horrible job in allowing this travesty to begin."

"The War between Russia and Ukraine is Biden's war, not mine," he said in a post on Truth Social on Monday, echoing remarks he made to reporters on Sunday. "I just got here, and for four years during my term, had no problem in preventing it from happening."

Trump added that Russian President Vladimir Putin "respected" him, and said he is "working diligently to get the death and destruction to stop" though he did not directly mention the current peace negotiations.
