Zelensky says Russia likely used a North Korean missile in an attack near Kryvyi Rih that killed four children and their parents

Zelensky says Russia likely used a North Korean missile in an attack near Kryvyi Rih that killed four children and their parents Russian forces struck the village of Radushne with a North Korean ballistic missile, killing members of a large family, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Zelensky said that this information is preliminary: Of course, more examinations will follow, and everything will be verified, but as of now – it is a North Korean ballistic missile. The alliance between the Moscow scumbags and the deranged regime in North Korea exists for the sake of missiles, North Korean troops on our borders here in Europe, and killing our Ukrainian children. Zelensky said many countries around the world had condemned the strike and expressed sympathy, but he stressed that what Ukraine needs most right now is “not mere sympathy and condemnation, but air defense missiles” — along with increased pressure on Russia. The strike hit Radushne, near Kryvyi Rih, overnight on July 30, destroying a private house belonging to the family of Artem and Olena Voronov. The household included the couple, their seven children, and their 18-month-old grandson at the time of the attack. Artem, Olena, and four of the children died.
