The president emphasized that Brink is afraid to say the word “Russian” when talking about the missile that killed children.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the American Embassy’s reaction to the missile attack on Kryvyi Rih on April 4 “weak” and stressed that they are afraid to say the word “Russian” when talking about the missile that killed children. This is stated in a message on the president’s Telegram channel .

He thanked the Foreign Ministers of the Czech Republic, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Austria, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and noted the principled reaction of the Embassies of Japan, Great Britain, Switzerland, and Germany to the Russian attack on Kryvyi Rih. 

“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,” he emphasized. 

According to him, to end the war, “we must not be afraid to call a spade a spade,” we must “not be afraid to put pressure on the only one who continues this war and ignores all the world’s proposals to end it.” 

“We must put pressure on Russia, which chooses to kill children instead of a ceasefire. We must impose additional sanctions against those who cannot exist without ballistic strikes on neighboring people. We must do everything possible to save lives.”
