At the Center for Combating Misinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, they stressed that Russian propagandists, after a strike on the Medium of Sums on April 13, traditionally began to spread fakes about the destruction of the alleged "military targets". According to the CPD, Russian troops hit rockets in the central part of Sumy on Palm Sunday, a great religious holiday, when there were many peaceful people on the street.

But Russian propaganda traditionally spreads a lies of a blow on "military goals" and "provocation of Kiev". By spreading such fakes, the enemy tries to justify his terrorist act against the civilian population of Sumy. According to the head of the Center for Combating Misinformation at NSDC Andriy Kovalenko, the Russians intentionally wanted to kill as many civilians as possible.

Sumy's blow occurred after the meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Special Representative Stephen Witcoff, said Andrey Kovalenko, as Russia has always used similar terrorist acts as a means of pressure in any negotiation. The Russian Military Channel "Voenny Cosvedomist" notes that the target in Sumy could be military. This allegedly hints at the presence of army pickups at the scene.

However, on this day, the Sumy Theater for Children and Youth gave the play "The capricious princess" based on Andersen's work "Princess and Swallow". A two-act musical tale was to take place in the Sumy assembly hall of the SSU Congress Center. According to the SES, at least 24 people were killed in the city of Sumy as a result of two missile strokes, including 1 child. 84 people were also affected, including 7 children.
