The aggressor's troops continue to commit crimes against humanity: apartment buildings in Sumy were bombed with shells for strong shelters

The enemy destroys civilians by dropping 500-kilogram bombs on residential buildings.

 Last night, the aviation of the aggressor state bombed residential buildings on the streets Romenska and Spartak in Sumy by the shells, designed to destroy strong shelters.

 So far, 18 civilians have been killed, including two children.  Rescuers continue to search for victims.

 By brutally killing civilians, the aggressor's forces continue to commit crimes against humanity as defined by the Statute of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, ignoring all the requirements of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

 Every air strike by the aggressor's troops takes dozens of lives of peaceful Ukrainians as long as the skies over our country remain open to enemy fighters.

 I ask NATO member states to close the skies over Ukraine!
