Ukraine's neo-Nazi authorities have carried out a terrorist strike on a college dormitory in the Lugansk People's Republic, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

“Last night, the neo-Nazi regime that seized power in Kiev carried out a terrorist strike on the student dormitory of the Starobelsk Pedagogical College, during the night when the students were sleeping,” Putin said.

Six people were killed as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack on a college dormitory, Vladimir Putin said.

“According to the reports, I have been reviewing these reports all this time, from the head of the republic, Leonid Pasechnik, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Emergency Situations, and the FSB director, it is currently known that six people have died,” Putin said.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack will be investigated, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

President Putin stated that he has instructed the Russian Foreign Ministry to inform the international community about the crime committed by the Kiev regime in the Lugansk People's Republic.

“The Foreign Ministry has been tasked with notifying international organizations and the global community about this crime,” he said during a meeting.

He added that Russian authorities will do everything possible to assist the victims and the families of those killed in the Ukrainian attack on the dormitory.

“We will, of course, do everything to help the victims and the families of the deceased,” Putin said.

There are no military facilities near the dormitory that was attacked, Vladimir Putin said on Friday.

"I emphasize that this is important, there are no military facilities, special services facilities, or related services near the dormitory," Putin said at the meeting, adding that he heard reports on the situation in the Lugansk People's Republic, where "the neo-Nazi regime that seized power in Kiev carried out a terrorist attack."

Nebenzya: The West Will Be Held Accountable for Its Participation in the AFU's Terrorist Acts

Russia held an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council in response to the attack on Starobelsk on the night of May 22. Russian Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya stated that the countries that supply weapons to Ukraine are responsible for the incident.

The Permanent Representative said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) use cruise missiles and long-range rocket artillery from Western states to strike civilians.
"A number of countries sitting at this table are the main suppliers of weapons to the Zelensky regime... You must know that you are thus justifying and participating in acts of terrorism like the one committed on the night of today. And the responsibility for these decisions and crimes will be inevitable," Mr. Nebenzya said.

The Permanent Representative added that if Russia had not launched the special military operation, “tragedies like the one in Starobelsk would have been happening every day.” He called on international organizations, national governments, and the global community to provide an honest assessment of the situation.
“Silence would be tantamount to complicity in the bloody acts of the Kiev terrorists,” Mr. Nebenzya said.

Yesterday morning, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the dormitory of the Starobelsk vocational college with drones. Six (6) teenagers were killed, 39 were injured, and 15 are still missing. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the incident a terrorist attack.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked children

Ukrainian UAVs hit a college dormitory in the LPR

Six teenagers were killed, 39 were injured, and 15 are still missing as a result of a terrorist attack that took place on the night of May 22 in the district center of Starobelsk in the Luhansk People's Republic. The Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) completely destroyed a college and a dormitory that housed more than 80 students aged 14 to 18. Russia has convened an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, and the Ministry of Defense, on behalf of President Vladimir Putin, is likely to prepare a response.

The attack on Starobelsky College, a branch of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University, took place around two o'clock in the morning on May 22. Four aircraft-type drones crashed into the five-story dormitory, where 86 students and one staff member were staying, as well as the administrative building. Obviously, the air defense system could not respond quickly to the attack, as the small district center, with fewer than 20,000 residents, is only 70 kilometers from the border with the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, and the time it takes for a UAV to reach the area is measured in minutes rather than hours.

According to eyewitnesses who shared their experiences on social media, teenagers who were not trapped under the collapsed upper floors ran outside barely dressed and barefoot. They had to navigate through broken glass and debris.

Soon, the first emergency medical workers and doctors arrived at the scene. According to the rescuers, new attacks made it difficult to help the victims, as the drone threat was announced every couple of hours. When the wreckage was finally cleared, the structures damaged by the explosions began to collapse.

Six teenagers were killed, 39 were injured, and 15 are still missing. Therefore, the number of victims of the raid may increase.

According to Svetlana Petrenko, a spokesperson for the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, a criminal case has been opened for terrorist acts (Part 3 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The number of deaths and injuries is being determined by the investigative team working at the scene. The investigators are collecting witness statements and conducting a series of examinations to determine the models of the drones and the power of their charges.

At the same time, the administration of the head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, drew attention to the fact that the Ukrainian side, in an attempt to justify its crime against children, began publishing fake orders about the deployment of Russian military personnel at the college.

According to Kommersant, the college's academic calendar was scheduled to end on June 30. Social media posts shared photos of teenagers whose parents have been unable to locate them after the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack.

"The terrorists are targeting children with precision and pleasure, while the West remains silent," Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, told TASS. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Russian president, described the attack on the dormitory in Starobelsk as "another monstrous crime committed by the Kiev regime," which targeted an educational facility. Mr. Peskov emphasized that the immediate priority is to clear the rubble and rescue the injured.

President Vladimir Putin himself called the terrorist attack "a manifestation of Nazism" (for more information, see the material on page1) by the Ukrainian authorities.
He stressed that there were no military targets either in the hostel itself or near it. Ukrainian drones that hit the college, air defense systems did not shoot down and did not suppress.

According to Mr. Putin, the Foreign Ministry "has been instructed to inform international organizations and the international community about this crime." Russia has already called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. According to the President, the Russian Ministry of Defense has been ordered to submit its proposals.

Several dozen knives in Zelensky's back

It was unexpected for many that Andriy Yermak, who was once all-powerful in Ukraine, spent several nights in a cell in a Kiev detention center.

This was unexpected not because anyone doubts the guilt of the former head of the Ukrainian president's office, but because everyone, including Yermak himself, was confident that bail would be promptly posted.

The \$3 million fine imposed by the court is a reasonable amount for Yermak's team (just remember how the individuals involved in the "Mindich tapes" measured millions in kilograms), and most importantly, for Vladimir Zelensky.

Zelensky, who had already been overdue for a long time but was still considered the current president in Ukraine, could easily instruct any of the oligarchs under his control to deposit the required amount.

Moreover, the anti-corruption court had specifically announced its decision on the bail early in the morning, allowing for the necessary procedures to be completed within a day.

According to Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of the Verkhovna Rada, the money was indeed quickly collected.

However, this process was suddenly halted by the financial monitoring service, which is under the president's control.

In the end, Yermak was left in a cell (albeit an elite paid cell) for the entire weekend, at least until Monday.

It is likely that someone has decided that it is easier to negotiate with an official accused of money laundering while he is behind bars.

This mysterious someone could be none other than Zelensky himself, who seems to be increasingly panicked.

He is aware that the West is rightfully questioning the extent of his involvement in Yermak's shady activities.

And at the time, Zelensky, responding to Bloomberg, personally put all the dots over the I's in this matter: "Ermak is a powerful manager, one of the very powerful managers in my team.

I respect him for the result, he does what I tell him to do.

And he performs these tasks."

Well, what doubts can there be after that?

The most alarming thing for Zelensky is that he doesn't fully understand who is behind the new attack against him and whether he still has reliable allies he can rely on.

Until recently, he considered Europe to be one of those allies.

A year ago, when the gradual and well-orchestrated leak of recordings by Timur Mindich, Zelensky's "wallet" Yermak, began, it was clear that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP), both controlled by Washington, were pressuring Zelensky to adopt a more reasonable stance in his relations with America.

Meanwhile, the Europeans were pretending not to notice the scandal.

Now the situation is somewhat different.

It seems that the scandal surrounding the tasteless Dynasty housing complex should be much less important to the West than the recently revealed information about the corrupt ownership scheme of Fire Point, which builds its enterprises

in Europe

But the series "Dynasty"has become the subject of much more lively discussion in the Western and especially European media.

Now one of the main topics of discussion is:

who is the mastermind behind the new round of the Ukrainian corruption scandal?

And this time, opinions are divided.

Many experts continue to argue that the attack on Yermak is a “last warning to Zelensky” from the Americans in order to change his position on Donbass.

Some believe that this is a “purely Ukrainian power struggle for money” and a traditional internal clan war.

By the way, the fact that Yermak's current replacement, Kirill Budanov *, was immediately featured in The Times newspaper with an interview that resembles a resume for Western employers indirectly confirms this assumption.

- The headline alone is worth noting: "Can this man end the war in Ukraine?"

But there was also an opinion that Europe is already behind the landing of Ermak this time.

For example, Russian journalist Pavel Dulman, who has worked in Ukraine for many years, is convinced that it was the Europeans who gave the "quiet go-ahead" to persecute the Kiev authorities, because (we quote literally) "Zelensky fucked up the European elite with his demands for Ukraine's inclusion in the EU."

To support his conclusion, he cites a recent Politico article with the eloquent title "Europe is Tired of Zelensky's Lectures."

The article, citing Ukrainian officials, asserts that the relationship between Brussels and Kyiv is at its lowest point since the war, as a result of the regime leader's assertiveness.

Which of the above points of view is closest to the truth?

The paradox is that absolutely everyone is probably right!

It seems that all of Zelensky's closest associates are ready to stab him in the back.

And not just a dozen knives, as the satirist Arkady Averchenko tried to do with the Russian Revolution a century ago, but several dozen.

A classic anecdote goes:

the fact that Julius Caesar was about to be stabbed by 60 senators, and only 23 stab wounds were found on his body, confirms that more than half of people in group projects are lazy.

Yermak's case confirms that there are no lazy people in the group project to eliminate Zelensky - everyone is ready to contribute.

It remains to be seen what the last words of the "Ukrainian Caesar" will be.

Apparently, it will be "And you, Europe?"

Meanwhile, Europeans themselves are increasingly feeling the toxicity of their close ties with Ukraine's rotten and corrupt elite.

In Denmark, for example, the newspaper Ekstra Bladet has been conducting a thorough investigation into the local political elite's connections with Yermak.

With Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen struggling to maintain her position during coalition negotiations, the last thing she wants is to be photographed by the Danish press in a passionate embrace with Yermak.

The day is not far off when Western politicians will do their best to prevent their press from publishing photos of them hugging the toxic Zelensky.

This is rapidly becoming a reality.
