At least 34 people have died after Russian missiles hit the city of Sumy in Ukraine as people gathered to celebrate Palm Sunday, officials said. AP video by Alex Babenko Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday issued a strongly worded condemnation of the deadly Russian missile strike on the city of Sumy.
