A Russian ballistic missile strike on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s hometown, Kryvyi Rih, killed 18 people\u2014including nine children\u2014and injured Seventy-two people, including 12 children, were injured, according to Dnipropetrovsk governor Sergiy Lysak. The missile struck a residential area near a playground on Friday, causing widespread devastation. City officials have declared three days of mourning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the kind of pain you wouldn\u2019t wish on your worst enemy,” said regional governor Sergiy Lysak on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia claimed it had targeted a restaurant where military commanders and Western instructors were meeting, but Ukrainian officials condemned the attack as a deliberate strike on civilians using an Iskander missile system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zelensky, who was born in Kryvyi Rih, said the attack shows that Russia has no interest in peace. “Russian strikes happen every day. People die every day. There is only one reason this continues: Russia doesn\u2019t want a ceasefire\u2014and we can see it. The whole world can see it. Every missile, every attack drone proves that Russia seeks only war,” reacted Zelensky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on his X account, Zelensky called for “global pressure” on Russia and for strengthening Ukrainian forces, which, in his words, would “determine when this war will end.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite U.S.-led efforts, including proposals for a ceasefire, Russia has rejected such initiatives, linking any truce to the lifting of Western sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The United States, Europe, and the rest of the world have the power to compel Russia to abandon terror and war. And that must be done\u2014because peace is necessary,” added Zelensky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kryvyi Rih, located about 60 km from the front line, has faced repeated attacks since Russia started its war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
