When the United States made itself the only member of the G-7 club of industrialized nations to oppose and, ultimately, derail a resolution condemning Russia for its bloody Palm Sunday strike on Ukrainian civilians in Sumy, the administration insisted it had a good reason.
Acknowledging the two ballistic missiles that killed 35, including children, and wounded 117 other civilians — just one of the countless Russian guided-missile strikes on civilian targets inside Ukraine seemingly designed to produce the maximum amount of death and destruction — might undermine peace talks. “President Donald Trump’s administration told allies it couldn’t sign the statement denouncing the attack as it is ‘working to preserve the space to negotiate peace,’” Bloomberg reported. Accepting the evidence of our own eyes would not advance U.S. interests.
