The international community and leaders have denounced Russia's aggressive actions following the missile strike on a residential area in Kryvyi Rih.

According to "European Truth", numerous politicians and diplomats have shared their thoughts on this tragedy.

Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans expressed condolences to the families of the victims and stated: "All of Europe is preparing for the weekend, but Ukrainians face horrifying realities."

"This is yet another case of Russian aggression, and one can never get used to it. That is why we must expedite our support for Ukraine," he added.

The Swiss Embassy in Ukraine also expressed condolences regarding the tragedy, emphasizing that "civilians should always be protected from attacks."

The EU's chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, condemned the "reckless Russian attack on a densely populated area."

"Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, showing no interest in peace," he noted.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna highlighted that "Russia chooses war over peace, and attacks on civilians, including children, are a clear proof of this."

These events have also drawn reactions from the foreign ministers of the Czech Republic and Lithuania, Jan Lipavský and Kęstutis Budrys. Meanwhile, the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, in her statement, did not specify that the missile was Russian.

Recall that on April 4, Russian forces struck a residential area in Kryvyi Rih, resulting in 18 fatalities, including nine children, and over 60 wounded.

Later that evening, the Russian military attacked Kryvyi Rih again, causing a fire in the private sector, with reports of casualties and injuries.
