Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday knocked the United States embassy for what he called a weak statement that did not blame Russia for a missile strike on his home town which killed 18 people, including nine children.In one of the deadliest strikes in recent weeks, a Russian missile on Friday night struck a suburb near a kidss playground in the central Ukrainian town of Kryvyi Rih.Seventy-two individuals were wounded, 12 of them children, Dnipropetrovsk Governor Serhiy Lysak said after completion of emergency situation operations overnight, with city officials declaring three days of mourning.Zelensky in an emotional declaration on social networks named each of the children eliminated in the attack, implicating the United States embassy of avoiding referring to Russia as the assailant.
Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly unexpected: such a strong country, such a strong people and such a weak response, Zelensky composed.
They are even scared to state the word Russian when talking about the rocket that killed the kids.
Zelensky singled out the United States for criticism at a time when United States President Donald Trump is pushing for a partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine while seeking a thaw in ties with Moscow.Spade a spadeThe Ukrainian president took goal at United States Ambassador Bridget Brink after she posted a message on X on Friday evening that said: Horrified that tonight a ballistic missile struck near a playground and dining establishment.
Brink, who was appointed by Trumps predecessor Joe Biden and has been ambassador given that May 2022, included that this is why the war needs to end.
Zelensky composed on Saturday: Yes, the war needs to end.
But in order to end it, we need to not be afraid to call a spade a spade.
It is incorrect and unsafe to keep silent about the truth that it is Russia that is killing children with ballistic rockets, Zelensky restated in his evening address.
It only prompts the residue in Moscow to continue the war and additional overlook diplomacy.
The Ukrainian leader was born in the commercial city of Kryvyi Rih, which had a pre-war population of around 600,000 people.Located in Ukraines main Dnipropetrovsk area, it has to do with 60 kilometers (37 miles) from the front line, and has actually frequently been targeted by Russian drones and missiles.Zelensky stated the children eliminated by the latest attack ranged in age from a three-year-old kid, Tymofiy, to a 17-year-old teenage boy, Nikita.Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of Kryvyi Rihs military administration, said 3 days of mourning had been stated on April 7, 8 and 9.
This is nothing less than a mass murder of civilians, he said.Pictures flowed by rescue services revealed numerous bodies, one stretched out near a playground swing.
This is the type of discomfort you wouldnt wish on your worst opponent, Lysak said.Russias Defense Ministry saidit provided an accuracy strike in the city where leaders of developments and Western trainers were meeting.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian army answered back that Moscow was attempting to cover up its negative criminal activity and spreading false details.
It accused Russia of war crimes.
Not huma nTrump, who said during his re-election project he could end the three-year dispute within days, is pressing the two sides to consent to a ceasefire but his administration has actually failed to broker an accord appropriate to both.Zelensky stated the rocket attack revealed Russia had no interest in stopping its full-blown invasion, introduced in February 2022.
Russia does not desire a ceasefire and we see it.
The whole world sees it, he said, including that after the missile strike Moscow released attack drones right during the rescue operation and one more person passed away.
People who are capable of that kind of thing arent human, Zelensky said.The president hailed concrete development after fulfilling British and French military chiefs in Kyiv on Friday to talk about a plan by London and Paris to send out a peace of mind force to Ukraine if and when an offer on ending the conflict is reached.Zelensky composed on social media that the conference with British Chief of the Defense Staff Tony Radakin and French counterpart Thierry Burkhard agreed the very first information on how the security contingent of partners can be deployed, without offering details.This is among the latest efforts by European leaders to settle on a collaborated policy after Trump sidelined them and opened direct talks with the Kremlin.
