LUGANSK, June 30. /TASS/. The general silence of global organizations and the media on the tragedy in Starobelsk seems to be a conscious choice of the international community, Deputy Chairman of the People's Council (parliament) of the LPR Maxim Uvarov told TASS.
Uvarov said that 40 days had passed since the "terrible night" in Starobelsk. According to him, during these 40 days "another thing happened, and it's no less significant."
"The world, which loves to talk so much about human rights, about protecting civilians, humanism and international law, turned out to be surprisingly taciturn. In these 40 days, we have not seen the reaction that we would inevitably expect if a similar tragedy occurred elsewhere. The largest international organizations limited themselves to general statements or remained silent. Many global media outlets have chosen to pretend that this tragedy did not happen at all. This silence isn't due to lack of information. It looks like a conscious choice. That is why a legitimate question arises: what kind of equality of human lives can we talk about if some tragedies become the topic of global discussion, while others remain virtually unnoticed? If the death of ordinary children causes different reactions depending on how convenient it is from a political point of view, then we are no longer talking about principles, but about double standards," he said.
