US President Donald Trump has again blamed Volodymyr Zelensky for starting the war with Russia; a day after a major Russian attack reportedly killed 35 people and injured 117 others in the Ukrainian city of Sumy.

The US president said Ukraine’s leader shared the blame with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the “millions of people dead” in the conflict.

His comments followed Russia’s strike on Sumy, the deadliest attack on civilians this year. Reports say, Moscow also hit the city’s outskirts yesterday night.

Recall that Trump had first described the attack as “terrible” but said he had been told Russia had “made a mistake”.
