Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for "sufficient pressure on Russia" after a day of missile and drone strikes that killed at least 23 people and as Kirill Dmitriev -- the CEO of Russia's Direct Investment Fund and an envoy of President Vladimir Putin -- met with officials in the U.S.
Zelenskyy said in a Saturday morning post to Telegram that the American reaction was inadequate.
"Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly surprising: such a strong country, such strong people -- and such a weak reaction," he said. "They are even afraid to say the word 'Russian' when talking about the missile that killed children."
Russia's Defense Ministry said the strike targeted a meeting of Ukrainian commanders and "Western instructors" at a restaurant in the city. Ukrainian officials disputed the Russian justification.

Not the way to win friends and influence people.
I’m way past the point of wanting President Trump to tell this little piss ant to f off.
oh geez Louise. enough with childish petulant guilt tripping already. our President and the vast, VAST majority of Americans are NOT interested in getting involve in the b.s. of a war between two of the most corrupt nations on the planet. you two duke it out and...have fun z.
That little dipshit isn’t bright enough to understand the western mind that’s for sure.
If it were up to me he wouldn’t be getting one more damned dime or bullet from US.
Wait, Zelenskyy said he doesn’t need us, he’s got the mighty Europeans backing him, right?
I guess he didn’t get the message that it’s not our war?
If he doesn’t shut up, I’m gonna be for sending weapons to Russia :)
I’m joking of course.
But he is an arrogant ass and more and more assures that Trump will not help him at all.
Putin is no angel.
But NATO forced his hand and z is the most unlikeable politician I have seen in years.
“weak” response, ya’say?
Well, how about ‘no response’. Would that suit you better, you despotic a$$hole?
I’ve lost track of how many billions we’ve given Ukraine. Weak? I for one, and there are many, many, more Americans are tired of supporting your sorry ass you pissant! Get your European neighbors to bail you out, we’re done.
You got to know when to hold ‘em,
know when to fold ‘em
Know when to walk away and know when to run...
When can the US start bombing Ukraine?
I think Putin is eventually going to give Zalensky a cruise missile. Enough of the rope a dope.
Perhaps Zelensky would like to make a stronger response with his army then?
The Germans announced they will have a 5,000 man combat unit in the Ukraine
by the end of 2027.
Hold on for another year and half, son.
Help is on the way.
America was not in the field of battle. What did Zelenskyy expect us to do—fight Russia with mind control? We have, here, a little piss ant throwing a tantrum.
Whoops.
Guess what Z. We are no longer interested in this war.
Zelinski was supposed to defeat Russia with his massive army backed by the west and led by NATO generals, some here in the US. Since Trump was elected and took office, we are being shown the truth of Project Ukraine and who was involved.
The Banks of England, France, Germany, 11 in the US, and across the west are over-extended in their profolios in Ukraine who can not hold on their investments.
At least the US approved the BTC EFTs over a year ago which was given to those 11 US financial institutions that partnered with the USG/Dept of State in Ukraine, as a way to replace assets which will have to be written off as they fall under Russian management.
Biden, Zelinski and the West thought they were covering all legal options by putting in the Ukrainian constitution clauses and laws like NATO IS THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF UKRAINE, UKRAINE CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH RUSSIA, and by having Zelinski implement Martial Law and put his political oppositon in jail or killed.
Zelinski has openly worked against Trump since 2016. He took part in the two impeachments, the Russia Hoax, and campaigned for Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. Zelinski has been opposed to Trump with every sound bite, and he continues to work openly with those openly opposed to Trump in the US, and in Europe.
Zelinski has picked a fight with Trump, as did Starmer and then you have Germany/France/Poland lurking around with Zelinski demanding boots on the ground. The EU countries are now breaking with the US on FREE SPEECH and FREEDOM OF RELIGION, and economically.
Tariffs are not the EU’s greatest problem. It is the fact that the US will no longer be occupied or sending precious USDs to them. The world is facing a recession, especially in the west. The EU countries of France, Germany and England are being hit with a reality check.
Over invested in Project Ukraine.
Recession looming.
Tariffs.
Britain and MI6 were aligned against Trump in lawfare; Trump is going to give Britain exactly what they deserve and everything against Trump was the Globalists working to start a war with Russia which has now backfired.
