Four people were killed when a Russian missile struck a hotel in Volodymyr Zelensky's home town but some American humanitarian volunteers survived the attack.

Summary

A Russian missile strike hit a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, where U.S., U.K., and Ukrainian humanitarian volunteers were staying. They survived, but four others were killed, and over 30 were injured.

Zelensky condemned the attack and urged continued pressure on Russia. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for peace talks, pausing U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing after a dispute with Zelensky.

Critics fear Russia now has leverage in negotiations, as Europe struggles to fill the gap left by reduced American support.

    Or say that Zelensky attacked the hotel in a false flag in order to pressure for support

      Not really a false flag but I still place some blame on Zelenskyy.

      Foreign mercenaries and instructors from NATO countries are often accommodated in hotels. In Krivoy Rog hotel facilities were being turned into deployment sites for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

      Last year, SBU actually arrested a man and said man was sentenced for 8 years because he stated that there were a lot of military personnel in the hotels of Kharkiv which was confirmed.
