As a result of the missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, 9 children died, the youngest of whom, Timofey, was three years old, and the oldest, Nikita, was 17 years old.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote about this on Facebook.
" Three-year-old Timofey, unfortunately, died today in the hospital. Seven-year-old Radyslav. Arina, who will also be 7 forever. Nine-year-old German. Fifteen-year-old Danylo. Fifteen-year-old Nikita. Fifteen-year-old Alina. Konstantin, who will be 16 forever. Nikita is 17 years old. These are the children who were killed by a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. It was only a few minutes after the launch from the Taganrog region into enemy territory. Unfortunately, 9 adults also died. My condolences to all their relatives and friends ," the president wrote.
Also, 62 people were injured in the attack, including 12 children. There are very seriously injured people, they are now in hospitals. Doctors are doing everything possible to save lives.
In addition to this ballistics, the Russians used strike drones against Kryvyi Rih yesterday - just during a rescue operation. The drone strike injured 7 people and killed one person.
" There is simply no deeper cynicism, meanness, and hatred of people than those that Russia now represents. It is very important that this Russian attack on people, on the city, and every such attack, does not remain without a reaction from the world. Kryvyi Rih and all of Ukraine were supported by many yesterday and today... Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly surprising: such a strong country, such a strong people - and such a weak reaction. They are even afraid to say the word "Russian" when talking about the missile that killed children ," Zelensky noted.
He emphasized that in order to end the war, one must not be afraid to call a spade a spade and not be afraid to put pressure on Russia.
Zelenskyy said that he had spoken with the American side about additional air defense systems to protect against such missile strikes.
" We are counting on our agreements with the President of the United States, who promised to help with the search for additional "patriots". And we are counting on the fact that the power of the world will still overcome this evil - this war, this Russian aggression ," the president noted.
As Apostrophe reported, Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko called US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink a bitch because of her outrageous reaction to the Russian strike on Kryvyi Rih.
