Poland has been under high alert for objects entering its airspace since an wandering Ukrainian missile struck the South Polish village of Przewodow in 2022, killing two people. It blurs the jets every time Russia launches missiles targeting nearby Ukrainian regions.

The attack comes after a previous Russian attack killed at least 18 people, including nine children in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi RihThe hometown of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian leader expressed his disappointment in the response of the United States Embassy to the Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. Zelenskyy, who has been prudent for having openly criticized Washington since a worried meeting of the White House with Donald Trump in February, wrote on X that several embassies in kyiv had condemned the attack on Friday and distinguished Russia for having carried out it.

Zelenskyy noted that the message from the American embassy made no reference to Russia by condemning the attack. “Unfortunately, the American embassy’s response is surprisingly disappointing – such a strong country, such a strong people and yet such a weak reaction,” said Zelenskyy in English. “They are even afraid of saying the word” Russian “speaking of the missile that murdered children.”

The American ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, wrote on the strike in a post on X: “Horrified that this evening a ballistic missile struck near a playground and a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih. More than 50 people injured and 16 killed, including 6 children. That is why war must end.” Under Trump, the United States has decided to improve relations with Russia, a passage from the approach of its predecessor, Joe Biden. Zelenskyy has made efforts to smooth relations with Trump from the altercation of the oval office and congratulated American efforts to work on a three -year war regulations with Russia.

On Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that it had made a precision missile strike with an explosive warhead on a restaurant where a meeting had taken place with commanders of the unit and Western instructors.

On Saturday, Zelenskyy met the leaders of the British and French armed forces in kyiv to discuss the potential deployment of a multinational peacekeeping force in UkraineDespite the reluctance of the US President Trump to provide security guarantees. Zelenskyy praised the “tangible progress” after the discussion, writing on social networks that the meeting with the British chief of the defense staff Tony Radakin and French counterpart Thierry Burkhard had discussed “the first details on the way in which the security contingent of the partners can be deployed”, without giving details. French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are heading for European efforts to send what they call “comfort strength” to Ukraine after the war.

“We are continuing our discussions on the long -term support of the Ukrainian people,” said Macron on X on Saturday. “First, for their army, which is – and will remain – their first line of defense; And secondly, on a possible comfort force, deployed behind the contact line to dissuade any renewed Russian aggression. ” Zelenskyy thanked “the United Kingdom and France for their leadership”, saying that “it is this type of joint work, when everyone focuses on a solid result, which helps bring reliable and lasting peace to Ukraine”. This is one of the last efforts of European leaders to agree on a coordinated policy after Trump has gone away and opened direct talks with the Kremlin.

About 240,000 Ukrainians were settled in the United States as part of the Uning for Ukraine – or U4U – program launched during the presidency of Joe Biden.

The basis, which has a network of cells from around the world, has been founded in 2018 and has become the subject of an FBI counter-terrorism survey which has led to several arrests and to several countries which designated them as a terrorist organization. Now, with the Trump administration pulling the FBI to continue the extreme right, the base, without control, tries to export its violence.
