Pastor Mark Burns, spiritual advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, has visited the site of a deadly Russian missile strike in Kryvyi Rih and urged the international community to stand with Ukraine and condemn the brutality of the attack.

He said this in a post on social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.

"Yesterday [on April 4], a Russian missile struck Kryvyi Rih, killing 16, including 6 children. A tragic loss of innocent lives. The world must condemn this brutality and stand with Ukraine against such terror. Faith is a choice, not a feeling!" he wrote.

Burns visited the location alongside Ukraine's Chief Rabbi, Moshe Reuven Azman.
