The Sumy RMA was previously led by Volodymyr Artyukh. He was dismissed shortly after the Russian missile strike on Sumy on April 13, which killed 35 people and injured 117. The occupiers attacked the city with two “Iskander-M/KN-23” ballistic missiles.
On the eve, Volodymyr Artyukh actually admitted that there was an award ceremony for the military on the day of the attack, but claims that he did not initiate it. The former official says that he was invited to this event. He did not specify who exactly.
