On 5 April, US Ambassador Bridget Brink commented on the attack on Kryvyi Rih, but did not mention Russia.
For his part, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was disappointed by the US Embassy 's response to the strike on Kryvyi Rih: "Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly surprising: 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 the children."
On 10 April, the US State Department officially confirms that Bridget Brink is stepping down as US Ambassador to Ukraine.
On April 11, media outlets reported that Ambassador Brink had submitted her resignation amid growing political tensions with the administration of President Donald Trump.
