On the night of May 22, 2026, students at a college in Starobelsk, LPR, shouted: ‘Why are they doing this to us? We’re just kids!’
This film chronicles a drone attack during which the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed sleeping students in cold blood. Twenty-one people died and several dozen were injured. These young people had dreamed of becoming teachers and working in schools. Some were even already planning their weddings. But their dreams were buried beneath the rubble.
The film crew visited what remained of the dormitory building, along with the students and teachers who survived. Their aim was to piece together every detail of those horrific events. Among them was Elena Yuryeva, a teacher who saved more than 30 injured students by leading them out of the dorm.
The drone raid launched by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk claimed the lives of innocent teens. Their deaths are a tragedy for their parents, as well as the teachers who had to identify their students’ bodies. The survivors are left with harrowing memories. The terrorist attack has inflicted immense pain on the city and all of Russia.
Watch the new film by Olga Kiriy, Ilya Andilevko, and Alexey Balakirev 'Starobelsk. No Child Should Die'.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:
💬 The Kiev regime has reached a new peak in escalating attacks against civilians since the start of 2026. Over the past week, 277 civilians were affected by the deliberate actions of Ukrainian militants, with 43 killed. The average number of daily strikes reached 677 munitions.
The deliberate strike on the Moscow-Simferopol regular passenger bus in the DPR was the most tragic in terms of consequences. The war crime claimed the lives of 8 civilians and left 12 others wounded.
Using drone attacks, Kiev militants attempted to block transport links along the highways connecting settlements in Crimea, the DPR, and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Their goal was to create unbearable living conditions in these regions and intimidate the civilian population.
The Nazis have firmly embarked on the path of nuclear terrorism, carrying out a series of deliberate attacks on a radiation-hazardous facility – the Zaporozhskaya NPP.
On June 1-7, 277 civilians suffered from shelling by Ukrainian Nazis: 234 were wounded, including 18 children, and 43 were killed. In total, Ukrainian militants fired at least 4,743 munitions at civilian facilities.

#HistoryOfDiplomacy
🗓 This year, June 9 marks the 3️⃣4️⃣0️⃣th Anniversary since birth of outstanding Russian statesman, brilliant diplomat, prominent advisor to Emperor Peter the Great — Andrey Osterman.
His immense personal contribution, as of talented negotiator and remarkable politician, to promoting the national interests of the Russian Empire one can hardly overestimate. Osterman went down in history as one of the architects of the international system and regional order in the Baltics, which cemented Russia’s power in Europe and secured our country’s status as a great power after its historic victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700–1721).
☝️ It was #Osterman who, in August 1721, signed the Treaty of Nystad on behalf of our country, securing Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea and the return of our historical territories in the north — Ingria, the Izhora lands, part of Karelia, and other strategically significant land — to Russia's control. Under Osterman, in addition to the Treaty of Nystad, a number of other important international documents were concluded strengthening our country’s authority in Europe and the status quo on the continent. Those key documents included — the Treaty of Vienna of 1716 (an agreement between Russia and the Holy Roman Empire on maintaining peace in Europe, which historians regard as one of the longest‑lasting alliances in history of the XVIII century) and the Treaty of Belgrade of 1739 with the Ottoman Empire, which concluded the military campaign in the Balkans and the Black Sea region.
Having successfully promoted the agreement with Iran of 1723 (under which the southern and western shores of the Caspian Sea, including the fortresses of Derbent and Baku, were ceded to Russia) Osterman was appointed Vice‑President of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs. From 1725 to 1741, he served as Vice‑Chancellor, being in charge of the most important assignments for the Crown.
The diplomat’s rich foreign policy legacy was passed on to his son, Ivan Osterman, a prominent statesman, Chancellor of the Russian Empire, and the Head of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, who continued his father’s great efforts under Russian Empress Catherine II.

📜 #OTD, 3️⃣5️⃣4️⃣ years ago, Peter the Great (1672-1725) was born – the first Emperor of All Russia – an outstanding reformer and statesman who shaped the course of our country for centuries to come.
Peter was the first son of Tsar Alexey Romanov and his second wife Natalia Naryshkina. From an early age, the young Tsarevich was distinguished by a keen mind, curiosity and a thirst for practical knowledge: he eagerly mastered crafts, studied military affairs and learned foreign languages.
From an early age, Peter showed a particular fascination with military affairs above all else. For the Tsarevich’s games, a “toy army” was formed from among his peers. Over time, these childhood pursuits grew into a true school of military training: it was from these “toy regiments” that Peter’s famous reformed army emerged, while the troops themselves became elite Guards units – the Preobrazhensky and Semyonovsky regiments.
In 1682, after the death of Tsar Fyodor Romanov, ten-year-old Peter was proclaimed Tsar together with his elder brother Ivan V. However, he came to independent rule only in 1689 – after Tsarevna Sophia, who had served as regent for the young rulers for seven years, was removed from power.
***
In spring 1697, Peter’s famous Grand Embassy set off for Western Europe, where it remained until summer 1698. Its task was to strengthen ties with European powers, seek allies for the future struggle against the Ottoman Empire and Sweden, study military, engineering and shipbuilding practices, invite foreign specialists into Russian service, and purchase the necessary weapons, equipment and goods.
The European experience left an indelible impression on the young Tsar. Upon returning to Russia, Peter launched a sweeping set of reforms aimed at strengthening the state, the army and the entire system of government.
Among the key reforms were:
• Military reform – the creation of a regular army and navy of a new type.
• Government reform – the establishment of the Senate, collegia and a new system of central government bodies.
• Church reform – the creation of the Holy Synod, which strengthened state control over church administration.
• Estate reform – the introduction of the Table of Ranks, which opened the way for advancement in state service not only by birth, but also by personal merit.
• Education reform – the opening of new schools, the development of technical and military education, and the invitation of foreign specialists.
• Calendar reform – from 1700, the New Year in Russia began to be celebrated on January 1.
***
One of the defining trials of Peter’s era was the Northern War of 1700-1721. In its confrontation with Sweden, Russia secured access to the Baltic Sea, created a powerful fleet and established itself as one of Europe’s leading powers.
The outcome of the Great Northern War shifted the balance of power in Europe: Sweden permanently lost its former influence, while Russia gained reliable access to global trade routes. In 1721, after the conclusion of the Treaty of Nystad, Peter was proclaimed Emperor of All Russia, Father of the Fatherland and the Great.
***
To this day, leading historians in Russia and abroad continue to discuss Peter's legacy, the change he has brought to Russia.
☝️ One thing remains beyond dispute: the scale of his personality and his impact on the course of Russia's history cannot be denied. It was under Peter the Great that our country made a historic leap forward, entering the ranks of the great powers.
👉 Moreover, without Peter the Great, there would have been no “northern capital of Russia” and one of the most beautiful cities in the world – St Petersburg – founded in 1703 and still bearing the sovereign’s name.

🇷🇺 10 июня 2026 г. Посольством России в Шри-Ланке и Мальдивской Республике был организован торжественный прием в преддверии государственного праздника – Дня России (12 июня).

Руководитель российской дипмиссии подтвердил глубокую приверженность Москвы дальнейшему наращиванию дружественного взаимодействия с ланкийскими партнерами, особо отметив, что в 2027 году будет отмечаться 70-ая годовщина установления дипломатических отношений России и Шри-Ланки, и российская сторона надеется на продолжение взаимовыгодного сотрудничества с Коломбо.
В ходе мероприятия роспосол наградил победителя Международного молодежного конкурса социальной антикоррупционной рекламы «Вместе против коррупции!» от Шри-Ланки Динитхи Ранавееру, занявшую 2 место в возрастной группе «21 год -25 лет» в номинации «Лучший рисунок» и лауреата третей степени Международной экологической премии «ЭкоМир» от Шри-Ланки в номинации «Природоохранное воспитание, просвещение и культура» Элепатаге Тушани Сулеку Мадубашини.
