Volunteers had checked into the hotel in Kryvyi Rih, which was hit by a Russian strike last night, the day before, — Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“The rescue operation in Kryvyi Rih at the site of the Russian missile strike lasted all night. The target was an ordinary hotel. Just before the strike, volunteers from one of the humanitarian organizations—citizens of Ukraine, the United States, and Britain—had checked into the hotel. They survived because they managed to get out of their rooms. But, unfortunately, four people were killed. My condolences to their families and friends.

In total, more than 30 people were injured, all of whom received the necessary assistance. Many civilian facilities around the hotel were damaged. Rescuers are still working at the scene.

I thank everyone who is on duty, working and saving lives in these difficult times—the employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the National Police, doctors, especially emergency workers, and everyone whose efforts keep people alive. There can be no pause in the pressure on Russia to stop this war and terror against life,” the message says.
