Russian attack on bus in Sumy region kills nine, Ukraine says, hours after peace talks
A Russian drone attack on a bus in northeastern Ukraine killed at least nine people and injured seven others, Ukrainian officials said Saturday, just hours after the two countries met for the first direct peace talks in three years. While the two sides discussed a possible meeting between the two countries' leaders, a ceasefire and agreed a prisoner swap, there was no major breakthrough and since then Russia's aerial assault continued. The drone attack took place Saturday morning in the city of Bilopillia in the Sumy region, local authorities said, with Oleh Hrihorov - head of Sumy's military administration - saying that seven people were injured, three of whom were in critical condition. 'This is not just another shelling – it is a cynical war crime,' Ukraine's National Police also said on Telegram. Police and local authorities said Russia had struck a civilian target. Moscow has not yet responded to Ukraine's claims it struck a civilian bus. However, Russia's state news agency TASS reported around the same time, citing a statement from the defense ministry, that Russian forces did strike a Ukrainian equipment staging site in the Sumy region with drones. Russia and Ukraine have both accused each other of targeting civilians, which each denies. An image shared by Ukraine's national police showed a heavily damaged van bearing massive holes in the right and top side of the passenger seats. Its windows, as well as the windshield, were shattered. Overall in Ukraine, Russian attacks killed at least 13 people and injured over 38 in the past 24 hours, which includes the attack in Sumy, Ukrainian authorities say. Two were killed in Donetsk region, and one person was killed in both Kharkiv and Kherson regions. Friday's talks marked the first face-to-face meeting between the two sides since the early weeks of the war. But the meeting – which took place in Istanbul chaired by Turkey – was not attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had first proposed the talks but instead sent a junior delegation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also stayed away, having said he would not meet any other Russian official but Putin. During the talks, Russia demanded that Ukraine must cede land still under Kyiv's control, a source familiar with Friday's negotiations told CNN, a position that Ukraine has long dismissed. The leaders of the UK, France, Germany and Poland called Russian demands in the talks 'unacceptable.'

Ukrainians deface war memorial after failed campaign to remove it (VIDEOS)
A group of anti-Soviet Ukrainians has defaced a war memorial in the city of Kharkov, using power tools to erase the names of residents killed in action in military conflicts abroad. The group, which identifies as had urged the city council since at least February to remove or repurpose the monument to honor Ukrainian troops killed in the ongoing conflict with Russia. After officials didn't take action, they resorted to vandalism. In a May 2 social media post, the group said it took just one day to erase what it called 'the names of the occupiers' from the plaques. A week later, on May 9, the anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II, the group posted a profanity-laced message criticizing the city for restoring the memorial. 'Imps and f****ts. You wouldn't take the easy way. You'll have it the hard way,' the post read. The message was accompanied by a photo showing flowers at the site, a traditional gesture to commemorate Victory Day in former Soviet republics.

The group posted new videos on Tuesday showing a young man grinding names off the monument. Activists warned the city that it was their 'final warning' and vowed further action by 'the public' unless their demands were met. The memorial, designed by a Kharkov-based artist, was unveiled in 1997 to honor soldiers who had died on foreign soil, particularly during the Soviet military campaign in Afghanistan. Це останнє попередження.Якщо не будуть демонтованівсі прізвища радянських окупантів у Харкові - це зробить громадськість і дуже оперативно. The group's tactics reflect a broader strategy among some radical Ukrainian nationalist organizations, who often turn to illegal action or threats of violence when political pressure fails. In 2019, as Vladimir Zelensky attempted to fulfill a presidential campaign promise to negotiate peace in Donbass, hardline nationalist activists staged mass protests and threatened to unseat him if he pursued what they branded as 'capitulation.' Officials in Moscow have accused Zelensky of yielding to nationalist groups and pursuing policies that marginalize ethnic Russians. Incidents involving the vandalism of Ukrainian landmarks happen on a regular basis. Among more prominent recent targets were the monument of Russian poet Vladimir Pushkin and plaques dedicated to the artist Mikhail Vrubel and medical researcher Ivan Sechenov in Odessa. In another attack in the same city, the bust at the grave of a man named Yury Bulgagov was covered with paint last November. Perpetrators may have mistaken him for Kiev-born writer Mikhail Bulgakov, whose books ridiculed Ukrainian nationalism.
