  1. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday condemned the United States for what he described as an “unacceptably weak” response to a Russian missile strike that killed 19 civilians and injured more than 70 others in his hometown of Kryvyi Rih.

    In a post on X, Zelenskyy called the attack “a massacre” and accused Moscow of displaying “no deeper level of cynicism, vileness, or hatred.” He expressed frustration over the US Embassy’s reaction to the strike, saying, “Such a strong country, such a strong people, and yet such a weak reaction.”

    “They are afraid to even say the word ‘Russian’ when speaking about the missile that murdered children,” Zelenskyy added, calling on global leaders to avoid silence and issue clear condemnations. “Every such strike must be met with a response from the world.”

    The Ukrainian leader praised European and Asian partners for speaking out against the attack but singled out Washington for its muted tone. “To end this war, we must not be afraid to call things by their names.”

  3. I don’t think Russian assets are allowed to say bad things about Russia, so it’s not really a surprise.

  4. They have shown who they are, I get Zelensky and his pushes and need of the US but they should not be trusted anymore, not even in the medium to long run. ( and their chief muppet is clearly a ruzzian asset )

  5. What was he expecting? He really thinks the US is still a rational superpower and an ally? Since liberation day, the US liberated itself from it’s last bit of remaining credibility. Judging trumps actions, Ukraine has lost any US support anyways. Trump probably will support russia soon with weapons.

  6. Hey come on now Zelensky, have some respect for Krasnov, he’s only doing what his masters want /s

  8. Why would they care? They’ve done the some for decades in the Middle East. Call those innocent dead collateral damage and you’ll be fine.

  9. He needs to accept that the Trump administration isn’t against Putin. I wouldn’t call them allies, but they are definitely collaborators in wanting to steal minerals from Ukraine.

  10. Such slam, many smashing, much bang

    Wow.

    Not to diminish the severity of the contents of the article, but I am really tierd of this sloppy americanized journalism.

  11. Let’s be honest. Tariffs, Israel & Iran are the true buisness for US. Ukraine is just an issue for Trump, a big feck up of Biden administration.
    That’s about it. In a way Trump already from US point of view got what he needed.
    1) communication with Russia.
    2) force allies to militarise.
    3) free resources without any defence plan.

    I swear to god, I hope Ukrainians are building right now there own nukes. So in the end they can show the middle finger to Russia, US, and Europ.

  12. Saying this strike was just another one that killed civilians is cruel…

    Russia dropped a ballistic missile on a cafe and a near by children’s playground. 😡🤬

    Idk about western media but I’m pretty sure you don’t see the aftermath of it… I’m pretty sure you don’t get video of what actually happened on your evening news…

    In Lithuania we do… And it was bodys of little children… Parents and other bystanders. I’m pretty sure non saw in the west the screaming maimed children… Or the tears that fallowed…

    You expect the terrorist from Moscow to this. But you don’t expect the west to be so uninterested…

  13. the orange clown may unironically be Europe’s salvation.

    The right wing orange supporting movements are losing steam all over Europe. Every European politician supporting this madman is losing big in polls.

    We now have a very unified vision of saying fuck USA.

  14. Trump wants people to stop dying!

    But only Russian people.

  15. “*Our responses might be unacceptably weak but we have strong and beautiful beef*” – Fox News probably

  16. I’m tired of people pretending that Trump’s “peace negotiations” are anything but a giant farce and a ploy to give Russia what it wants.

  18. surely he has realised by now that Trump is a Putin wannabe

  19. Well, if there wasn’t a petulant toddler that idealizes a half assed wannabe Stalin, then the US wouldn’t be Russia junior. Following in the footsteps of failure.

  20. Worth noting that the US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink who posted this response was appointed by Biden in 2022 and must have witness Russia’s atrocities firsthand over the last 3 years, yet she still finds it appropriate to follow the current “party line”.

  21. From some of the comments here, it seems Zelensky is an entitled loudmouth. There is no room for his anger or outrage because it didn’t happen to you, apparently.

    If you can’t see, don’t care or don’t want to talk about the consequences for Europe, of Ukraine falling under Russian control then don’t make dopey fucking comments.

  22. Here’s your reminder that the first time America felt a foreign attack on their mainland, they enacted article 5 and went on a 2 decade long war and pulled in everyone with them.

    America has never been reliable.

  24. US became greatest agressor supporters within last 2 years, supporting both Russia and Israel.

  25. >The Ukrainian leader praised European and Asian partners for speaking out against the attack but singled out Washington for its muted tone. “To end this war, we must not be afraid to call things by their names.”

    This US administration has a proven track record of bending backwards to avoid doing just that, being afraid to call things by their names. Never look to this White House or Republicans expecting truth.

  26. It’s time to finally acknowledge the fact that the Orange guy will never do anything that could hurt the war criminal Putin.

  29. Has he lost weight these past couple of months? Normally I wouldn’t care but he’s a 40-something man under incredible stress who gained weight in 2022-2023, and I fear the 1% chance of the most consequential medical event in geopolitics.

  30. America is a puppet state of Russia now.

    Agent Orange is not going to risk angering Daddy Putin, as he is terrified of him.

  31. If he says that in public it is really telling.

  32. The US is weak! It’s a flaccid little mushroom covered in shit!

  33. Thats the kind of strong talk we have been waiting for so long. Finally!!

  34. Trump only cares about himself and his money. He doesn’t give a shit even about the US.

  35. What’s this big new European lead coalition doing about it?

    Seriously. I have read for weeks now, this entire sub pounding fists on the table, Europe is back. Don’t need the USA. When does it become more than Redditors taking a break from call of duty and actual action?

  36. Zelenskiy has to understand that there is an important golf tournament goin on right now that requires the moldy oranges entire attention

  37. Krasnov has shown his allegiance.
    The nations of europe and asia need to show theirs all the more.
