US response to Russian ballistic missile strike 'weak,' Zelenskyy says

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the U.S. for its muted response to a Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih that killed 18, including nine children.

He urged stronger pressure on Russia and condemned the U.S. embassy's failure to directly name Russia.
