The president of the United States, Donald Trump, sent a message to his Russian pair, Vladimir Putin, through his social social network social demanding that he stops the attacks in Ukraine, after the most serious bombardment in Kyiv of the last 9 months occurred.
«I am not happy with the Russian attacks in Kyiv. Unnecessary and in a bad time. Vladimir, for! 5,000 soldiers die per week. Let’s achieve the peace agreement! ”Trump wrote.
This Thursday’s attack in the Ukrainian capital, in which at least 10 people have died and more than 70 have been injured, was against civil infrastructure, including the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital. Other parts of Ukraine were also attacked, including Sumy and Zhytomyr.
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, described the attack as “one of the most difficult and shameless” in Russia.
Zelensky, who was on a diplomatic trip in South Africa, said it is necessary to exert more pressure to move towards a high fire.
“I do not see much pressure on Russia or new packages of strong sanctions against Russian aggression,” said the president.
For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the latest bombings had as its objective “Aviation and space companies, construction of machinery and tanks in Ukraine, as well as fuel -producing companies for rockets and gunpowder.”
«The objectives of the attack have been achieved. All facilities have been attacked, ”said the Ministry of Defense in a statement.

Disagreements between Trump and Zelensky
Trump’s message to Putin arrives just hours after the US president criticized the Ukrainian president in his social network, accusing him of being harming the peace negotiations headed by USA.
“He [Zelensky] You can have peace or can fight another three years before losing the whole country, “Trump wrote on Wednesday, adding that Zelensky was” the man without letters to play. “
That is why Trump’s message for Putin this Thursday is an unusual conviction of the US president to Russian attacks and a sample of his frustration.
During his electoral campaign, Trump promised to resolve the war in Ukraine since the first day of his presidency. On the 100th day it will be fulfilled at the end of this month, but as demonstrated by the deadly night attacks in Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine, an end for war is not envisioned.
“This is not an accusation, we say it very directly and without any emotion: we believe that if more pressure on Russia is exerted, we can bring our positions closer,” Zelensky said Thursday.

And he said that the fact that they remain willing to sit at the table to negotiate with Moscow after everything that happened is in itself an agreement.
In addition, he stressed that a high fire is “only the first step.”
Peace conversations between the two countries are stagnant and, as noted by Russia editor of the BBC Vitaliy Shevchenko, Russian attacks do not give signs of decreasing.
Since April 4, Russians have attacked in three more points in the country with a total of 65 civil victims.
The “brutal attacks show that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace,” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
