Pastor Mark Burns, spiritual advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, has visited the site of a deadly Russian missile strike in Kryvyi Rih and urged the international community to stand with Ukraine and condemn the brutality of the attack.
He said this in a post on social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.
“Yesterday [on April 4], a Russian missile struck Kryvyi Rih, killing 16, including 6 children. A tragic loss of innocent lives. The world must condemn this brutality and stand with Ukraine against such terror. Faith is a choice, not a feeling!” he wrote.
Burns visited the location alongside Ukraine’s Chief Rabbi, Moshe Reuven Azman.
On April 4, Russian forces launched a ballistic missile at a residential area in Kryvyi Rih, killing 19 people at the time, including nine children, and injuring 74 others. Later that night, a drone strike in the city killed one person and wounded seven more.
On April 6, it was reported that a 57-year-old man wounded in the missile attack had succumbed to his injuries in hospital. In honor of the victims, April 6 was declared a day of mourning in cities and villages across Ukraine.
