Russian rocket attack: 14 dead in Krywyj Rih - Civilian victims in focus!

On April 4, 2025, a devastating Russian rocket attack occurred in the Ukrainian city of Krywyj Rih, which cost at least 14 people, including six children. In addition, more than 50 people were injured when the rockets hit a residential area and damaged numerous buildings. Cars and garages caught fire, which further tightened the previously tense situation. The attack takes place in the middle of the storming negotiations on a ceasefire that has already been affected by similar violent acts in the past.

A few days earlier, on April 1, 2025, four people had already died in a previous rocket attack in Krywyj Rih. Despite the geographical distance of about 70 kilometers to the front line, the clashes are becoming increasingly important. Ukraine has to expect further escalation, while President Wolodymyr Selenskyj accuses Russia of targeting civilian institutions.

political reactions and international complications

President Donald Trump expressed resentment about Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin and his refusal to recognize President Selenskyj's legitimacy. Russia justified the attack by stating the Ministry of Defense to have hit a group of Ukrainian soldiers with foreign trainers in Krywyj Rih. According to their information, up to 85 soldiers and officers from abroad and up to 20 vehicles were destroyed.

Selenskyj took the opportunity to ask the community for international consequences for Russia, while at the same time reporting on progress in discussions with representatives from France and Great Britain about security guarantees for Ukraine. Paris and London lead a so -called “coalition of the willing” to secure a possible peace in the region, while Russia rejects the stationing of European troops in Ukraine as a threat.

The ongoing fights not only reflect the militarization of the conflict, but also the serious consequences for the civilian population. In the entire Ukraine, more than 198 civilians, including three children, have been killed since the conflict began, with over 1100 injured. In view of these alarming numbers, the western countries are calling for increased measures, including additional sanctions against Russia.

The situation in Ukraine remains tense. Despite international efforts to stabilize the country, the population is constantly facing the risk of further attacks and the never -ending violence that make negotiations on peace and security difficult.
