Kryvyi Rih and the entire Ukraine have received support from many both yesterday and today.
I am thankful to the foreign ministers of Czechia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Austria for their principled stance.
I also appreciate the position and support of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
We value the statements made by the embassies of Japan, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany in this regard.
Unfortunately, the response from the US Embassy is an unpleasant surprise such a strong country, such a strong people, yet such a weak reaction.
They are even afraid to say the word Russian when referring to the missile that killed the children.
Details Zelenskyy added that to end the war, one must not be afraid to call a spade a spade and put pressure on the only one who continues this war and ignores all the proposals of the world to end it.
