Ukrainian President Calls for International Response to Russia’s Attack on Kryvyi Rih
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged the international community to take action in response to Russia’s recent strike on the people of Kryvyi Rih. The attack, which resulted in the deaths of 18 people, including 9 children, has prompted a period of mourning in the city from April 7 to 9.
In the wake of the tragedy, Zelenskyy has emphasized the need for increased air defense systems to protect against missile strikes. He has stated that Ukraine is looking to the United States for assistance in acquiring additional Patriot missile defense systems.
“We specifically discussed with the American side the possibility of obtaining additional air defense systems to protect against such missile attacks. We rely on our agreements with the President of the United States, who promised to help us find more Patriots,” Zelenskyy said.
The number of injured in Kryvyi Rih has risen to 72 following the Russian ballistic missile attack on April 4. As of now, 46 wounded individuals are being treated in hospitals, including 5 children and 23 women. 19 of the patients are in serious condition, with doctors working tirelessly to save each life.
The gravity of the situation in Kryvyi Rih has underscored the urgent need for international support and solidarity in the face of Russian aggression. Zelenskyy’s call for assistance from the United States reflects Ukraine’s determination to defend its people and sovereignty against further attacks.
