The United States has informed its Group of Seven (G7) allies that it will not endorse a joint statement condemning Russia's recent missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, according to Bloomberg. The decision is driven by the U.S. desire to maintain ongoing negotiations with Moscow, specifically to 'negotiate peace'. The missile attack, carried out with ballistic missiles on Palm Sunday, resulted in the deaths of 35 civilians and injured 119 others, including children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as the deadliest of the year. Canada, which holds the G7 presidency this year, indicated that without U.S. support, the statement condemning the attack could not proceed. The draft statement was intended to highlight the attack as evidence of Russia's determination to continue the war.

Bloomberg reports that the US refused to support the statement issued by the G7 condemning Russia's attack on Sumy because it feared that the move could disrupt peace negotiations in Ukraine. A diplomatic source told Bloomberg that the US government “told allies that it cannot sign a statement condemning the attack because it is working to preserve space for peace negotiations. ” Trump said in his only public comment on the attack that the Russian missile attack on Sumy was “just a mistake” https://t.co/3Ml4smNbMA
