Western mainstream media largely ignored or downplayed an atrocity carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces, which targeted a Russian school and cold-bloodedly slaughtered as many as 21 students and teachers.

Diplomatic condemnation will not suffice as a response to the overnight attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

Around 15 people still remain unaccounted for after a Ukrainian drone strike on a school dorm in the Russian town of Starobelsk, President Vladimir Putin has said

A Military Response

Ominously, Russia’s head of state added that he has ordered the military to prepare retaliation for the attack. Q: Could Zelensky himself be assassinated or perhaps another leading dark light of the Kyiv regime?

At least 39 people were injured in the strike, and six were killed, with many unaccounted for, according to Putin.

A Blood Fest

He ruled out the possibility that the school was hit by accident, noting that 16 Ukrainian drones hit the same location in three waves, with no military sites in the vicinity.

The Russian president slammed the incident as a ’terrorist attack by the fanatical zealots,’ vowing revenge.

‘The Russian Foreign Ministry has been instructed to inform international organisations and the international community about this crime,’ Putin said. 

Will Russia Decapitate Kyiv Heads?

‘In such cases, statements from the Foreign Ministry alone would not suffice. Therefore, the Russian Defense Ministry has been ordered to submit its proposals.’

The strike hit the main academic building and dormitory of the Starobelsk Professional College, which teaches students aged 14 to 18.

The head of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) Leonid Pasechnik said 86 students were inside the facility at the time of the attack.

The rescue operation was interrupted at least once due to the threat of a follow-up Ukrainian strike, according to the emergency services.

According to Pasechnik, the school was not the only target in what he described as a broader raid on the non-military town.

Starobelsk is located around 80 km north of Lugansk, the regional capital of the LPR, which in accordance with a referendum, broke away from Ukraine.

This followed the 2014 Western-backed regime-change coup in Kiev and formally voted to join Russia in a referendum in 2022.

Other Civilian Casualties

The governor said administrative buildings, shops, and private homes were also damaged, with at least one additional person injured.

He published images showing several badly damaged buildings, including the school, some of them still on fire.
