Zelensky dismisses regional head following deadly Russian missile strike on Sumy

Artyukh's dismissal comes in the wake of the Russian missile attack on Sumy on Sunday, which killed at least 35 people and injured 129 more.

Hours after the attack, Artem Semenikhin, the mayor of Konotop, a city in the Sumy region, accused Artyukh of organising a military award ceremony and gathering Ukrainian servicemen from the 117th Brigade in Sumy on the same day as the strike.

Artyukh admitted in a comment to Suspilne that a military award ceremony was due to be held in Sumy on Sunday, but denied any responsibility for the organisation of the event. Artyukh did not specify whether the ceremony had gone ahead or not.

Maryana Bezuhla, a member of the Ukrainian parliament known for her criticism of the Armed Forces of Ukraine leadership, suggested that Sumy had been targeted after information about the award ceremony had been leaked to Russian forces.

Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement on Monday that it had struck "a meeting of the Siversk operational-tactical group's command staff."

Witkoff Closing In On Peace Deal Ukraine

Witkoff says '5 territories' key to proposed Russia-Ukraine deal after meeting Putin | Kyiv Independent |

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said on April 14 that his recent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin were "compelling" and centered around a possible peace deal based on the status of "five territories."

Witkoff, who met with Putin in St. Petersburg on April 11, described the meeting as productive, claiming the Russian president expressed a desire for "a permanent peace," though it "took a while for us to get to" that point.

"This peace deal is about these so-called five territories," Witkoff said in comments for Fox News. "But there's so much more to it. I think we might be on the verge of something that would be very important for the world at large."

Though Witkoff did not name the territories directly, he appeared to refer to Crimea, illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, and the partially occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts. Moscow declared the annexation of the latter four regions in 2022.

The envoy also hinted at a broader strategic ambition tied to business incentives. "I see a possibility of reshaping the Russian-United States relationship through some very compelling commercial opportunities," Witkoff said. "That gives real stability to the region too."

President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to Witkoff's proposal during a press conference alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Odesa on April 15. Zelensky once again stressed the importance of Ukraine's sovereignty and said non-Ukrainians should not speculate about territorial concessions.

"Ukraine is a sovereign state, and all territories belong to the unified state of Ukraine," the president said.

"Therefore, again, only the people of Ukraine can speak about the territories of our state. And you know that for us it is a red line to recognize any temporarily occupied territories as not Ukrainian, but Russian. Therefore, again, the relevant representatives are discussing issues outside their competence."

Volodymyr listen to Donald, "You are not holding the cards."
