Dozens of families are now mourning the loss of their loved ones. The pain of our neighbors is also our pain. Let us cherish the peace we have at home. Let us pray for those who protect it and remain united in faith, dignity and in the defense of life,” wrote President Maia Sandu.
Also, the head of state reiterated that the aggressor must be held accountable. “There is no justification for such evil.”

The Kremlin must answer for all war crimes, Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, noted in a message of condolences addressed to the Ukrainian people.
“Today, when Christians celebrate Palm Sunday - the most important holiday that heralds Easter, the Kremlin’s “Ruskii Mir” killed 21 innocent Ukrainians who were walking on Sunday on a street in the city of Sumy. It happens in the neighboring country and such crimes take place every day, crimes in which children, parents, grandparents are killed, because they live and want to live in their country and homes,” wrote Igor Grosu.
We remind you that this morning the city of Sumy was the target of a Russian missile attack. According to the latest data presented by the Ukrainian authorities, at least 21 people died and over 80 were injured, including seven children.
