U.S. blocks G7 condemnation of Russia over Sumy strike - Bloomberg --Moscow has said the missile attack targeted senior Ukrainian and foreign military officers | 15 April 2025 | U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has reportedly refused to back a G7 statement condemning Russia's recent missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed firing two Iskander-M missiles the day before, targeting a gathering of Ukrainian and Western command staff, killing at least 60 senior servicemen. The Ukrainian authorities, however, have claimed that the Russian missiles struck a military awards ceremony, leaving 35 civilians dead and 129 others injured. Throughout the Ukraine conflict, Moscow has maintained that it never targets civilian infrastructure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently emphasized that Russia only strikes military targets.
