The US ambassador reacts to the tragedy in Krakow. "The magnitude of the shock is striking"

"The magnitude of the shock that yesterday's terrible crime in Krakow caused in Poland is striking. Violence on such a scale is not only unheard of here; it is downright unthinkable and completely alien to the Polish national character," wrote the American diplomat on the X platform.

Rose emphasized that Poland is "so extremely safe, peaceful and orderly precisely because its people are so decent."

“Being in a country where such evil remains so alien to everyday life, where the entire nation recoils in horror at the very thought of it, and where the depth of grief reveals the true goodness of its people, is something extremely valuable,” emphasized the US ambassador to Poland.

He assured that "today, when Poland mourns the victims, US President Donald Trump and America mourn them together."

This is Rose's second entry on X in connection with the tragedy in Krakow. On Saturday, the American diplomat assured that "America stands with Poland and the beloved citizens of Krakow in this dark hour."
