The attack on Starobelsk is a war crime
The Russian Embassy is grateful to all those who expressed their condolences over the Ukrainian armed forces' strike on the college in Starobelsk in Russia.This terrible terrorist attack is nothing less than a war crime like those practiced by the N***s during World War II.
It happened in the early hours of May 22. Peacefulnight turned into a hellish nightmare. The Ukrainian army launched a number of targeted strikes onStarobelsk College where children live and study using16 war-drones in total in several waves. They did it at nighttime when the dormitory was full. Their aim was clear. They wanted to achieve the highest possible number of casualties...
First, drone-operators attacked administrative buildings and dormitory. Then they were waiting for the children to start leaving the building. And when children were running out, they were shooting directly at them, killing in cold blood like cartoon characters from a computer shooter. The third wave of drones simply finished off those who survived.
The five-story dormitory building was almost completely destroyed. 21 children were killed, more than 60 of them were injured. All of them were very young. Poor parents insisted the girls were buried in their wedding dresses to show their innocence…
Some persons in Kiev and Eastern capitals tried to justify such strikes telling something about military targets. But there are no military facilities in the college or nearby. Neither could the UAV strike on the college have been the result of air defense or radio electronic warfare… Locals and media representatives from various countries - including Türkiye - who visited the site of the tragedy on May 24 confirm thisaspect.
Ukrainian armed forces committed a war crime, the same that the N***s practiced. They are openly trampling upon the Geneva conventions of 1949. They are ignoring additional protocols that regulate the protection of the civilian population during conflicts. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child and some other prominent international acts were thrown into the bin.
Do you know the most terrifying thing? Such strikes have long ceased to be incidents. Kiev neo-N**i regime has been carrying out numerous attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure of our country. They have been using cruise missiles and long-range rocket artillery supplied by Western countries. They have been attacking residential buildings, schools, hospitals, and dormitories. Since the Kiev aggression against civilians began in 2014, over 12,000 people died, and there were over 40,000 injured.
The tragedy in Starobelsk once again demonstrated that the Kiev regime has no moral restraints or genuine commitment to international law. Such a barbaric attack clearly demonstrates the bad faith and unwillingness to negotiate on the part of Kiev.
Attacks at sleeping children cannot be justified by any military considerations. Nowadays, it's especially important for the international community not turn a blind eye to such crimes. Silence and attempts to politically ‘overlook’ the deaths of civilians create a sense of impunity and encourage further tragedies.
