The Russian Embassy is grateful to all those who expressed their condolences over the Ukrainian armed forces' strike on the college in Starobelsk in Russia. This terrible terrorist attack is nothing less than a war crime like those practiced by the Nazis during World War II.
It happened in the early hours of May 22. A peaceful night turned into a hellish nightmare. The Ukrainian army launched a number of targeted strikes on Starobelsk College where children live and study, using 16 war-drones in total in several waves. They did it at nighttime when the dormitory was full. Their aim was clear. They wanted to achieve the highest possible number of casualties.
First, drone operators attacked administrative buildings and the dormitory. Then they waited for the children to start leaving the building. And when children were running out, they were shooting directly at them, killing them in cold blood like characters from a video game. The third wave of drones simply finished off those who survived.
The five-story dormitory building was almost completely destroyed. Twenty-one children were killed, and more than 60 were injured. All of them were very young. Poor parents insisted the girls were buried in their wedding dresses to show their innocence.
