Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Russia deliberately attacked a shopping center in Sumy, killing at least 2 people and injuring another 20.

According to Sybiha, the strike on the shopping center was a "deliberate choice of target," and Russia understood the possible consequences of the attack.
Moscow is demonstrating that it is prepared to continue openly killing civilians in broad daylight, as it still believes that the world will swallow yet another Russian crime, condemn it, and move on
Sybiha called for a concrete response
The Foreign Minister emphasized that the partners' response should not be limited to expressing concern. He called for strengthening Ukraine's capabilities to defend its skies, restricting Russia's ability to produce weapons, and increasing pressure on the resources that finance the war.
Every Russian attack must be met by weakening Russia's ability to launch the next strike. That is how we will stop this cycle of terror
