Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has condemned the Russian strike on a bakery in Sumy, where traditional Easter bread (paska) was being baked. The attack killed a driver and injured a female worker.
He wrote about this on social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.
Sybiha recalled that on Good Friday in Ukraine — when people prepare for Easter and bake paska — Russia launched a Shahed drone at 05:00. The UAV damaged the Sumy bakery, killed an entrepreneur who came to pick up bread and injured a female employee.
“So much for Russia’s ‘traditional Christian values.’ It is against the Lord, any faith, and any human values to strike an ordinary pastry shop, murder an entrepreneur, and destroy Easter bread. This is the evil we are dealing with every day,” he said.
Early on April 18, Russian forces attacked a bread factory in Sumy with three Shahed drones. As a result of the attack, a 61-year-old driver who was loading goods was killed, and a 55-year-old employee was injured.
