Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it dangerous to remain silent about Russia’s guilt in the strike on Kryvyi Rih, stating that doing so only encourages the aggressor country to continue the war and ignore diplomacy.
The Russian ballistic missile strike on a residential district in Zelenskyy’s hometown killed at least 18 people, including 9 children, and wounded over 70 others. It came amid the Trump administration’s continued push to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, which analysts fear would push Ukraine into a bad peace that would give Russia time to prepare for a new war.
“Yesterday evening and today, many in the world declared their position after this strike – a position of clear rejection of Russian terror. Everyone who sees this and does not close their eyes but speaks the truth clearly deserves gratitude not only from us in Ukraine but from the whole world,” Zelenskyy said in his evening address.
