15.04.2025Day of Revenge for Palm Sunday Massacre
Ukrainian forces struck the Russian 448th missile brigade in Kursk region, identified as responsible for the April 13 Palm Sunday attack on Sumy that killed 35 people. This military response dominated coverage throughout the day.

President Zelensky dismissed Sumy Regional Administration head Artyukh following the attack. The Cabinet approved the dismissal after allegations emerged that Artyukh had organized a military awards ceremony in the city center before the strike.

Diplomatic tensions escalated as the US reportedly blocked a G7 statement condemning Russia's Sumy attack. Trump's special envoy Vitkoff revealed his peace plan centered on "five territories," which Zelensky promptly rejected as crossing "red lines." The White House suggested Russia has economic incentives to end the war through potential partnership with the US.

Militarily, two new National Guard corps were established, led by commanders from Azov and Khartia units, described as preparation for offensive operations.
