Attack of Russian terrorists on Sumy region
It is also worth mentioning that on the night of August 19, Russian terrorists carried out an attack on the Sumy region, using strike drones. This time, the target of the attack was a residential building in the Pishchansky senior community of Sumy region, which was set on fire. Ukraine is experiencing the 1273rd day of war on its territory.
Both of these attacks demonstrate the ruthlessness of Russian terrorists and the need for continued international pressure on them to stop aggression and restore peace in Ukraine.
