In the difficult attack on the city of Krywyj Rih, several children were among the 18 fatalities. President Selenskyj thanked partners for their sympathy – but is disappointed with a message.
The three -year -old Tymofij, seven -year -old Arina and the nine -year -old Herman – according to the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, they are among the nine children and adolescents killed in a Russian air raid. In the hit of a Russian ballistic rocket in the city of Krywyj Rih, followed by a drone attack, nine adults were also killed, Selenskyj wrote on the X.
An ordinary road was hit in a residential area, where there was also a playground, shops and a restaurant, the president continued. 62 people were injured, including 12 children. Some people continued to be in mortal danger, he wrote.
Selenskyj thanked external ministers and messages who had expressed their condolences after the attack on Friday. However, the reaction of the US message was surprisingly disappointing, he wrote. “You are even afraid to say the word” Russian “when talking about the rocket that children killed.” The US ambassador in Kiev, Bridget Brink, had been horrified in an X-Post that “a ballistic rocket near a playground and a restaurant in Krywyj Rih was hit”.
Moscow had confirmed the attack, but spoke of a “high precision”. Ukrainian commanders and their western instructors were hit, it said. On the pictures published by the Ukrainian side of the location of the attack, there were no evidence of military goals. The Kiev General Staff wrote on Telegram of a lie.
