A Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih killed 14 to 18 people, including children, and injured over 50. The attack hit a residential area and was condemned by President Zelenskyy as proof of Russia’s disregard for peace. Russia acknowledged the strike.

1. April 20 would be a good time for a full ceasefire without any conditions … because a deadline is needed, because it is Easter and because President Donald Trump will have been in office for three months.
Jean-Noel Barrot
France Foreign Ministry
1. Russia owes an answer to the United States that has worked very hard to come up with a mediation effort.
David Lammy
British Home Office
1. Putin continues to obfuscate, continues to drag his feet. He could accept a ceasefire now.
Tony Radakin
British Royal Navy
1. Britain and France are coming together and Europe is stepping up in a way that is real and substantial, with 200 planners from 30 nations working to strengthen Ukraine's long-term security.
Olena Zelensky
1. Children are again among those killed by Russia. … Children should be a hope, not a target.
Andriy Sybiha
Ukraine Foreign Ministry
1. We must get Russia serious about peace. We must pressure Russia into peace.
Dmytro Lubinets
Ukraine Government
1. Russia is a country that systematically destroys peaceful life.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. Through this latest violation of the norms of international human rights, the insidious enemy shows that it is in no way seeking peace but rather intends to continue its invasion and war to destroy Ukraine and all Ukrainians.
2. All Russian promises end with missiles, drones, bombs or artillery. Diplomacy means nothing to them.
3. For several weeks now, there has been a US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire. And almost every day, in response to this proposal, there are Russian drones, bombs, artillery shelling and ballistic strikes. Russia deserves increased pressure.
4. The geography and brutality of Russian strikes, not just occasionally, but literally every day and night, show that Putin couldn't care less about diplomacy.
5. Such strikes cannot be a coincidence – Russians know that this is an energy facility.
6. A Russian missile struck an ordinary city, directly hitting a street in an area with residential buildings. Preliminary reports suggest it was a ballistic missile strike. As of now, 14 fatalities have been confirmed, including six children. My condolences to their families and loved ones. The rescue operation is ongoing, at least five residential buildings have been damaged. Russian strikes occur every day.
7. Many injured, houses damaged. The missile actually hit the area next to residential buildings – a children's playground, ordinary streets.
8. People die every day. There is only one reason why this continues: Russia doesn't want a ceasefire, and we see it. The whole world sees it. Each missile, every attack drone proves that Russia seeks only war.
9. These strikes cannot be accidental – the Russians know exactly what they're hitting. They know these are energy facilities that should be protected from attacks under what Russia itself promised to the American side. Every Russian promise ends with missiles or drones, bombs or artillery. Diplomacy means nothing to them.
10. Such a strong country, such a strong people – and such a weak reaction. They are even afraid to say the word 'Russian' when talking about the missile that killed children.
