BRUSSELS (AP) — Russia claims that its deadly missile attack on Ukraine’s city of Sumy that killed and wounded scores on Sunday had targeted a gathering of Ukrainian troops. Children were among the dead. European leaders on Monday condemned the attack as a war crime. There were calls for more sanctions on Russia. A Kremlin spokesman says Russia’s military only strikes military targets. Russia’s Defense Ministry asserts that the strike targeted a gathering of senior military officers. Ukraine has called for a global response to the attack. Poland holds the European Union’s rotating presidency and says Russia is mocking ceasefire efforts.
