#ПреступленияКиевскогоРежима
▪️ В ночь на 22 мая нацистский режим с помощью четырёх БПЛА самолётного типа совершил кровавую террористическую атаку на учебный корпус и общежитие колледжа Луганского государственного педагогического университета в Старобельске (ЛНР).
В результате теракта оборвалась 21 юная жизнь. Ещё вчера ребята строили планы, учились, мечтали, думали о будущем. Сегодня от них остались только фотографии, воспоминания и боль, которую невозможно выразить словами.
#БезСрокаДавности: Посмотрите в их глаза. Это лица обычных студентов, у которых впереди была целая жизнь. Но они были УБИТЫ В СТАРОБЕЛЬСКЕ.
Удар не был случайностью или сбоем. Это был осознанный, целенаправленный акт нечеловеческой жестокости против мирного населения.

💬 М.В.Захарова:
Ребята мечтали стать учителями, передавать знания следующим поколениям. У них вся жизнь была впереди. Посмотрите на фотографии погибших ребят, взгляните в их глаза... Вот по ним наносил удар киевский режим.
Киевские неонацисты вероломно отобрали жизнь и мечты этих ребят и, по сути, всех их близких тоже.

🎙 Statement by Vassily Nebenzia at a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine (New York, May 28, 2026)
Read in full
Watch the full meeting
💬 What is particularly striking is the hypocrisy and cynical reaction of European delegations, which are usually quick to level accusations against Russia whenever politically convenient, but in this case chose to effectively ignore the tragedy in Starobelsk and shift the blame onto Moscow.
But we were not surprised then, and we are not surprised now. What human compassion can we expect from them when the blood of the children of Starobelsk is on their hands as well?
⚠️ For many years, their countries have been supplying the terrorist Zelensky regime with money, intelligence, weapons and ammunition, encouraging it to commit new crimes against civilians, and then shielding it by portraying it as a victim.
***
The UN Secretariat, so prompt in some cases, has unfortunately once again limited itself to general rhetoric and the vaguest possible wording, avoiding a direct assessment of Kiev’s actions. It claims there is no access to the site of the tragedy and no possibility to verify the data.
We have repeatedly stated that UN representatives can visit the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions via Russian territory. Yet UN officials do not make use of these opportunities.
❓ Why does the UN Secretariat so easily find the words when it needs to support the Western version of events, yet struggle so painfully to choose its wording when it must call a Ukrainian strike on children a crime?
Why do some victims deserve immediate compassion, while others do not? Why does the death of minors in one place prompt loud statements and condemnations, while the deaths of children in Starobelsk are met with silence?
☝️ Here is yet another glaring manifestation of the West’s double standards and hypocrisy.
***
The events of the past week have clearly shown that neither the leader of the Kiev regime nor his sponsors seek any substantive dialogue with our country on the prospects for a peaceful settlement. On the contrary, they are doing everything to escalate the confrontation.
❗️ Routine calls for an unconditional ceasefire are merely a cover for Kiev to continue its terror.
The so-called leaders of Europe are only encouraging Zelensky’s already reckless and suicidal mindset. The tone of their comments leaves no doubt that they have finally and irreversibly written Ukraine off, once again trying to buy time for their insane preparations for “war with Russia”.
***
The Western propaganda machine works day and night for one purpose only – to shift responsibility for the latest actions of “civilised” states in Ukraine onto our country.
Let me say this at once: they will not get away with it. They will inevitably be held accountable for their reckless and predatory actions against both Russia and Ukraine.
👉 It is obvious that without military pressure, no calls for real diplomacy will work. Russia's Armed Forces will continue fulfilling the objectives of the special military operation to denazify and demilitarise Ukraine until the security threats emanating from its territory are fully eliminated.

#KievRegimeCrimes
▪️ On the night of May 22, the Nazi regime carried out a heinous terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, using 16 UAVs, 4 of them heavy, in three waves.
The terrorist attack claimed 21 young lives. Just a week ago, they were students with dreams, plans and a future. Today, all that remains are photographs, memories and unbearable grief.
#NoStatuteOfLimitations: Look into their eyes. Ordinary students. Whole lives ahead of them. MURDERED IN STAROBELSK.
This strike was not an accident or a malfunction. It was a deliberate, targeted act of inhuman cruelty against civilians.
💬 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
Kiev’s neo-Nazis treacherously stole these young people’s lives and dreams – and, in effect, those of all their loved ones as well.

These young people dreamed of becoming teachers and passing knowledge on to the next generations. They had their whole lives ahead of them. Look at the photographs of the students who were killed, look into their eyes... They were the ones Kiev chose to kill.

🎙️ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s response to a media question concerning the possibility of Moscow appealing to the International Court of Justice over Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia’s refusal to abandon policies that infringe upon the rights of Russians
❓ Question: How would you comment on the possibility of Moscow appealing to the International Court of Justice in response to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia’s continued refusal to discontinue policies that infringe upon the rights of Russians?
💬 Maria Zakharova: The mandatory pre-litigation phase of the dispute with Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia concerning these countries’ serious violations of the 1965 International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination is currently approaching completion. The Baltic states’ refusal to engage in negotiations and their unconstructive response to Russia’s legitimate claims leave little alternative but to refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice. We cannot exclude the possibility that such a step may be taken before the end of this year.
In general, the subject matter of our claims against all three Baltic republics is largely the same: systemic discrimination against Russians, the suppression of the Russian language in all spheres of public life, including education, and the glorification of Nazism. At the same time, each state is, of course, accused of its own specific violations.
Given the seriousness of the allegations and the comprehensiveness of the evidence submitted, it is unlikely that the authorities of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia will be able to avoid legal proceedings. Based on the established practice of the International Court of Justice, such proceedings could take several years.

The winter of 1941-1942 was one of the most horrendous in the history of Leningrad. Hunger, continuous shelling and air raids took lives every day. Nazi propaganda tried to convince the world as well as German soldiers that the city would fall soon. In the spring of 1942, Nazi commanders printed a newspaper titled Leningrad: The City of the Dead. They also air-dropped leaflets claiming that Leningrad had already been wiped off the map.
But Leningrad kept living.
To show that to the entire world, city authorities made a historic decision to hold a football match in the besieged city.
They put together two teams, Dynamo Leningrad and a team of Joseph Stalin Leningrad Metal Plant that consisted of Zenit, Spartak and other clubs' members. Many of the football players were temporarily recalled from the frontline, the police or from the Road of Life where they worked. Some of them had only recently recovered from severe malnutrition. The match was played without a half-time as the players feared they would not be able to get up and continue the game after a break.
The report about the match was broadcast through powerful loudspeakers to the frontline, amidst artillery fire. Those 90 minutes were more than a sporting event: they strongly reaffirmed that Leningrad was alive, fighting and not giving up.
These days, the memory of that event is preserved at Dynamo Stadium in St Petersburg. A memorial plaque was unveiled at the venue in 1991, followed by a monument to the players of the siege match installed in 2012.
The match on May 31, 1942, became a moral victory over the enemy and a vivid response to those who called Leningrad the city of the dead far too early.
