ZELENSKY: ‘SUCH A STRONG COUNTRY … SUCH A WEAK REACTION’: With its ground campaign sputtering, Russia has increased its bombing of the civilian areas far from the front line, including a deadly strike of a restaurant in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s home town of Kryvyi Rih Friday.

An initial statement from U.S. Ambassador Bridget Brink infuriated Ukrainians because while she said she was “horrified” by the ballistic missile attack, which killed 20 people, including nine children at a nearby playground, she made no mention of Russia.
