Zelensky: US Citizens in Ukraine Hotel Struck by Russia

[millah_22]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said U.S. citizens were among those who had checked into a hotel that was hit by a Russian strike overnight.

The strike came a day after the Trump Administration paused sharing intelligence with Ukraine as it applies pressure on Kyiv over peace negotiations with Russia.

"All night, a rescue operation continued in Kryvyi Rih at the site of a Russian missile strike," Zelensky posted on X.

"A ballistic missile struck an ordinary hotel. Just before the attack, volunteers from a humanitarian organization—citizens of Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom—had checked into the hotel.

"They survived because they managed to get down from their rooms in time. Unfortunately, four people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones."

Newsweek asked the State Department for comment outside of normal hours via its online media request form. Newsweek also emailed the Russian foreign ministry's press office for comment.

It will hurt a little bit at first.

[McLovin32]

Trump (Russia) will 100% find a way to blame this on Ukraine.

 

[BelemNole]

Like Trump would give a shit.

 

[jonesy5960]

So if this is correct, then can we expect some kind of U.S. military response? Isn't that the reasoning behind how U.S. personnel residing in Kiev amount to a defacto security guarantee for Ukraine?

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Like Trump would give a shit.

he does.
Because it will look bad for putin, therefore he will be concerned for that.

 

[desihawk]

@ericram hope you are doing fine

It's like blaming a rape victim because she was wearing a short skirt. But MAGA does that too, so BAU.

 

[Finance85]

Any idiot can see Zelensky is trying to use this to get Trump to give him money. Jeesh.

As for the Americans killed, add them to the FAFO and Darwin threads.

He will give enough shit to blame it on Ukraine. You know it”s coming

When Israel murdered, errr, accidentally killed humanitarian aid workers in Gaza Biden gave them a stern talking to...then allowed them to investigate themselves.

But this is different, I suppose.

PRESS STATEMENT
THE WHITE HOUSE
April 2, 2024

I am outraged and heartbroken by the deaths of seven humanitarian workers from World Central Kitchen, including one American, in Gaza yesterday. They were providing food to hungry civilians in the middle of a war. They were brave and selfless. Their deaths are a tragedy.

Israel has pledged to conduct a thorough investigation ("WHY WOULD WE DO THISSS?!?!?") into why the aid workers’ vehicles were hit by airstrikes. That investigation must be swift, it must bring accountability, and its findings must be made public.

Even more tragically, this is not a stand-alone incident. This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed. This is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza has been so difficult – because Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians. Incidents like yesterday’s simply should not happen. Israel has also not done enough to protect civilians. The United States has repeatedly urged Israel to deconflict their military operations against Hamas with humanitarian operations, in order to avoid civilian casualties.

and there it is. Russia's strike killing Americans is all to make Trump give Ukraine money. You have TDS.

Finance is waiting for Putin to release a statement so then he knows what to say about it in a bit more detail.

I read that as the 4 people were not part of the aid group, anyone else?

Yup, he sure is. Biden ****ed up his life so bad that he had no choice but to turn into a dipshit.

Pretty standard for a Chase Oliver voter that totally didn't vote for Trump.

Yup. Most Chase Oliver voters hate Trump but love to defend absolutely ****ing everything he does because they also hate idiot libs so defending a rapist and Putin is the best move to make.

It really makes sense when you think about it.

Not in Kiev. Kryvyi Rih is a different city.

They were there on a humanitarian mission. There's a poster on here that's over there helping people right now too.

You're an insensitive prick if you think this is a FAFO situation.

 

[gohawks50]

Bet Trump claims it was a Ukrainian bomb just like MAGA twitter was claiming the attack on the Nuclear Plant was done by Ukraine.

As long as you keep that same FAFO mentality when a US soldier is killed somewhere, then I have no problem with your response.

Those guys should have known. Hotels are legit military targets in Mother Russia.

I'm not religious. I don't believe in fairy tales. Anyways, we'll agree to disagree on this whole thing because this is clearly going to go nowhere if bringing up Jesus was your next step.

Have a good one, my man!
