Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called it dangerous to hush up Russia's guilt in the attack on Kryvyi Rih, as it incites Russia to continue the war and ignore diplomacy.
Quote: "Last night and today, many in the world have declared their position after this strike [on Kryvyi Rih - ed.] – a position of clear rejection of Russian terror. Not only we in Ukraine but the whole world should be grateful to everyone who sees this and does not turn a blind eye but speaks the truth clearly and unequivocally.
It is wrong and dangerous to keep silent about the fact that it is Russia that is killing children with ballistic missiles. It only incites the scum in Moscow to continue the war and further ignore diplomacy. Weakness has never ended a war. That is why I am grateful to every country whose representatives have spoken out: leaders, foreign ministers, embassies."
Details: Zelenskyy stressed that "Russia must be held accountable for everything they have done, and we need to put pressure on them there – really put pressure, not waste time in an empty talk – to end this war".
Earlier, Zelenskyy said he was "unpleasantly surprised" by the reaction of the US Embassy, which did not use the word "Russian" when commenting on the ballistic missile strike on Kryvyi Rih.
On the evening of 4 April, Russian forces launched a ballistic missile attack on a residential area in Kryvyi Rih, killing 18 people, including nine children, and injuring over 70.
Afterwards, US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink tweeted: "Horrified that tonight a ballistic missile struck near a playground and restaurant in Kryvyi Rih," without mentioning Russia in the message.

For him each day and each hour that passes with this war ongoing is a day more and more of his people die, so fair enough if he wants to push for this as hard as he can.

This guy has the patience of a saint. How he hasn't lost his shit completely at this point is beyond me.
Trump "I told him to sign it 200% raw earth for the USA (and that number could go up!) or Russia will get the invisible planes, and he won't be able to see them coming, it will be a disaster on par with what Joe Biden doing to the stock market right now, so sad."
Zelensky in the background "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH they are not actually invisible, mr.president please, be serious 30 seconds please"
Trump *pauses for 30 seconds* "No I am pretty sure they are invisible, if not we should do that. we should make them invisible, put all the money from the raw earth deal into funding that, what do you mean we fired everyone in that department?"
[Pan to Zelensky face as the sound of silence starts to play in the background]

Sounds like a subtle but truthful jab at Donald .
