HEART-STOPPING: Parents Shield Children as Russian Bombs Explode

Jul 12, 2026·2 min read

Russian bombs struck a residential area of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine last week, killing five, including a child, and injuring 17. A camera captured the terrifying moment when the bombs exploded, sending parents huddling over their children’s bodies to protect them.

Russia has stepped up its attacks in recent weeks, targeting residential areas such as apartment buildings in Kyiv and prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to call on the international community for help in bolstering Ukraine’s air defenses.

At last week’s NATO summit, the United States pledged to send Patriot missiles that Ukraine desperately needs to thwart Russian ballistic missile attacks. After two devastating attacks on Kyiv that killed dozens of civilians in recent weeks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had implored the West for more aid and had specifically requested Patriot missiles. Trump said that the U.S. would also fulfill Ukraine’s request to license them to make their own Patriot air defense systems.

Trump also praised the wartime president, saying that Zelensky has “done an amazing job” and has “been very effective” against Russia.

“We’ve actually developed a good relationship. It’s hard to believe,” Trump said.

NATO also pledged an $80 billion package of military aid to Ukraine for this year and next year.
