A Russian missile struck a hotel in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown in Ukraine, killing four and injuring over 30. Despite US suspending military assistance to Ukraine, Zelensky urged continued pressure on Russia to stop the war. The latest attacks included missiles and drones launched by Russia, highlighting the importance of American assistance in Ukraine’s defense. In response, Ukraine has sought to assure its citizens and appeal directly to the American public for support.
Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, the Trump administration’s envoy, suggested that US actions were meant to push Zelensky towards peace talks with Russia. Despite Trump’s belief that Putin is ready for peace, Russian bombardment of Ukrainian towns has intensified, causing civilian casualties. Cities like Kostiantynivka have faced relentless attacks, leading to numerous deaths and injuries.
As rescue efforts continue in Kryvyi Rih, survivors recall the chaos and fear of the missile strike, with some narrowly escaping harm. The reliance on American support for defense systems and early warning data has become even more critical as Ukraine faces ongoing attacks. As Ukraine navigates the shifting dynamics in the region, it emphasizes the need for continued assistance to protect its cities and civilians.
