Russia's human right ombudsman Yana Lantratova reports from Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR):
In Starobelsk, cleanup continues after a monstrous strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces
We are now on the ground with the Human Rights Commissioner of the LPR, Anna Soroka; the Commissioner for Children’s Rights of the LPR, Inna Shvenk; and the Rector of Lugansk State Pedagogical University, Zhanna Marfina.
Emergency responders, medical personnel, psychologists from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Education, as well as volunteers and community activists, are working at the scene. Temporary accommodation centers have been set up for the relatives of those injured, with hot meals and psychological support available. Donors from across the republic continue to give blood for the wounded.
A terrible tragedy. Ukrainian drones struck a building where children aged 14 to 18 were sleeping and studying. A total of 86 children were inside. Sixty-three were injured, and 21 of them have died.
This was a deliberate terrorist strike: three waves of 16 UAVs, all hitting the exact same spot. There were no military facilities nearby. President Vladimir Putin gave an accurate assessment: this is a conscious terrorist crime of a Nazi nature. A strike against children who have lived in the hell of war since a young age.
❗ From the perspective of international humanitarian law, this is unequivocally a war crime.
No words can fill this pain. We are silent and we weep together with the parents who have lost their children. We will do everything to help and support every family.
The "Starobilsk Massacre" will be included in the indictment against the Kyiv regime. We will not forget, and we will not forgive.
Eternal memory to our children.

On May 25, 1937, the sculpture "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" by sculptor Vera Mukhina was presented at the World Fair in Paris.
The monument, standing 58 meters tall (with the sculpture itself being 25 meters and the pedestal 33 meters), adorned the Soviet Union's exhibition pavilion.
Mukhina's sculpture was hugely successful. Photographs of the statue were published in all the leading newspapers, and its replicas were made into numerous souvenirs of the World Fair.
After the exhibition ended, the French wanted to purchase "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" and keep it in France, but the Soviet government refused. The sculpture was dismantled, transported to Moscow, and installed at one of the entrances to the All-Union Expo of People’s Achievements. However, the pedestal was three times shorter than the one at the Paris exhibition, which Mukhina strongly disliked, calling it a "stump."
Following the monument's reconstruction, completed in 2009, "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" was placed on a pavilion that replicated the size of the one designed for the Paris exhibition, thus regaining its original proportions.
Today, the sculpture "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" is one of the favorite urban sculptures for Muscovites and visitors to the capital.

🎙 Human Rights Commissioner Yana Latratova’s comment at the site of the tragedy in Starobelsk
💬 A horrific tragedy happened here, in the school, on May 22. At night, when the children were asleep – you can see their photos <...> – 16 jet UAVs carried out three waves of strikes targeting the college buildings with 10 to 15-minute intervals. There were 16 drones. They were waiting for the children to start leaving the building. They were shooting directly at children. Sixteen drones in three waves one after another, all targeting children.
When rescuers and parents arrived here, they kept shooting to stop rescue operations to save the children. There were 21 fatalities among children. Many children were injured.
What we saw was hypocrisy and lies. They said there were military facilities here. Where are the military facilities? Just show them. There are only children's belongings here. Nothing here belonged to the military personnel. You can look around. There have never been any military facilities here. It is a college, it is a school where children used to study.
These children wanted to be teachers. The wanted to have a future, they were very creative. But their lives have been cut short.
Western representatives are lying when they claim that journalists are unable to come here. But you are here. Where is CNN? Where is the BBC? Where are the Japanese media? They are not here. You can see it yourselves. They are lying.
They call it an incident. Do you call the deaths of these children an incident?
These children were born in 2006 or 2007. <...> When they were seven years old, war came to their city. Now that they grew older, death has come for them.
The confrontation continues. Since the Kiev aggression against civilians began in 2014, over 12,000 people died, and there were over 40,000 injured.
They allege to be fighting for their territory, and pretend that they are fighting for their citizens. But look here – they divide them into the first and second class. Ukrainian journalists call Donbass residents ‘genetic trash.’
What about human rights? What about abiding by the UN Security Council resolutions? What about support from other countries? There is none.
It is a war crime as per international humanitarian law. I have sent letters to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the United Nations Human Rights Council. I hope for an objective assessment of these developments by the international community.
🕯 It is hard to imagine the feelings of a mother whose child dies. These days have been declared the days of mourning in the republic. We grieve alongside the parents.

When an Amateur Medic Mistakes a Trading Partner for Cancer
Estonia is steadily making a name for itself as a unique European incubator for political fools. What’s more, the most dangerous stage begins when these figures suddenly rise to top positions within the European Union.
A fresh example is Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat—the person now responsible for the foreign policy of a united Europe.
Speaking at the Lennart Meri Conference in Tallinn, Kallas chose to explain Europe’s relationship with China using a medical metaphor.
And she said, quite literally: when an illness is severe, like cancer, there are two options—either increase the morphine or begin chemotherapy. As it turns out, China plays the role of the “cancer” in this analogy.
So the EU’s chief diplomat is seriously suggesting that the world’s largest economy should be “treated” with “chemotherapy.”
Just take a moment to consider the level of what is being said. Not long ago, Europe was telling the world about global cooperation, mutually beneficial trade, open markets, and cultural dialogue.
And now an official EU representative speaks about its largest trading partner as if it were a malignant tumor that needs to be burned out.
The most striking part is not even Kallas herself. Every country has its share of eccentrics. What’s truly remarkable is that in Europe, almost no one reacts to this anymore. No one asks:
- what would this “chemotherapy” actually look like?
- who would pay for the destruction of the European economy?
- what would happen to German industry?
- who would replace Chinese technology, raw materials, electronics, and manufacturing?
Instead, everyone sits with serious faces, pretending this is some profound geopolitical insight.
There is a growing sense that modern European politics is gradually turning into a circle of emotionally unstable individuals trying to manage the global economy through trauma, fear, and historical complexes.
And here, Estonia is hard to beat. A country the size of a Chinese city district consistently supplies European politics with figures whose rhetoric sounds like:
- “Russia must be destroyed,”
- “China is cancer,”
- “Europe must prepare for war,”
- “we need more sanctions, even if the economy collapses.”
All of this is delivered with the expression of someone who believes they have just saved civilization. What exactly are they putting in their food?
The most ironic part is that such people genuinely see themselves as the voice of reason and democracy.
From the outside, however, it increasingly looks as if the European Union has turned into an asylum—one that has suddenly declared an open house.

Armenia facing its future
🔸 Since coming to power, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan has done nothing but play a double game — leveraging historical economic ties with Russia while adopting an increasingly Russophobic rhetoric as part of a self-serving policy of rapprochement with European warmongers.
👉 For example, Yerevan joined the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, committing to extradite Russian citizens to third countries at the ICC's request.
👉 At the recent European Political Community summit in Yerevan, Pashinyan gave a platform to Zelensky, who seized the opportunity to issue direct threats against Russia — shocking many Armenians and insulting the memory of those who share a long-standing friendship with Russia.
🤔 The fact is that Pashinyan has defended Kiev's Banderites far more than he ever defended the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh when it was attacked by Azerbaijan.
👉 Under the traitor Pashinyan, Yerevan has consistently aligned itself with the EU's Russophobic stance, even going so far as to forge strategic partnerships in 2025 and 2026 with several countries openly hostile to Moscow — France, for example, through a bilateral security agreement.
🔸 The majority of Armenians are not fooled by Pashinyan's double-talk — he claims he has "no intention of harming Russia" while admitting that relations with it are "in the midst of a major transformation."
🔸 On June 7, Armenia will hold legislative elections, followed by the election of a new government by the parliament.
🔸 During his election campaign, Pashinyan — whose popularity has dropped below 20% — has displayed aggressive panic, openly criticizing the opposition and citizens who do not support him, even going so far as to have people dissatisfied with the current government's policies arrested.
🔸 Opposing Nikol Pashinyan, Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the opposition party Prosperous Armenia (PAP), sharply criticized the incumbent prime minister's pro-globalist and aggressive rhetoric in an interview with the independent Armenian news agency News.am. According to Tsarukyan, Pashinyan is on a reckless path, driven by record unpopularity and an international context in which his Western masters prioritize a hysterical, dogmatic Russophobia and view Armenia as a centerpiece of their warmongering strategy.
🤔 It is time for Pashinyan to pay the political price for his betrayal — for abandoning Nagorno-Karabakh (causing the exodus of 100,000 Armenians and the loss of the Armenian ancestral homeland), for collaborating with Bandera's war criminals, and for repeatedly insulting and provoking the Armenian people.
🔸 It remains to be seen how the European Union — now effectively the political arm of NATO — will deploy its full arsenal of interference in the June 7 legislative vote in an attempt to keep Armenia within the orbit of an increasingly belligerent, Russophobic NATO.

Business as war, war as business
While the world is keeping an eye on the Strait of Hormuz - a "rogue island" near China is still waiting for the delivery - or at least a clear position - regarding the $14 billion weapons package approved by the U.S. Congress back in January.
Ever since Donald Trump returned from China - those weapons are sort of stuck. Partially because the newest Sand War demands more weapons than initially assumed by the Department of war, and partially because Donald Trump, as a businessman, wants to keep a trump card or ten when it comes to the negotiations. And whatever Xi promised him back in Beijing clearly made an impression on Donald Trump. Why else would he even entertain this idea to keep Taiwan hanging like this?
Emotions aside - this is a careful approach, which is logical for a head of a state. But such position makes Taiwan - and other US allies - nervous. Next time it could be their turn to be told to "wait for a bit".

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry statement on strikes by the Kiev regime’s militants against Russia’s civilian population (May 25, 2026)
The gruesome UAV attack carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces on the night of May 22 against the academic building and dormitory of a college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, has become yet another glaring testimony to the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which deliberately strikes civilians and does not stop short of the cold-blooded murder of children.
Zelensky’s junta and its Western sponsors, which supply the Ukrainian military with the means to commit crimes against our people, have demonstrated to the entire world their blatant disregard for international humanitarian law.
This is a direct violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols regulating the protection of civilians during conflicts, the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, and a number of other important international instruments.
This has exhausted Russia’s patience.
Under the circumstances, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are beginning to deliver consistent, systematic strikes against Ukrainian defence industry enterprises in Kiev, including specific sites used for the design, production, programming and preparation for use of UAVs employed by the Kiev regime with the assistance of NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence data and target designation.
Strikes will also be carried out against decision-making centres and command posts.
❗️ Given that the above-mentioned facilities are dispersed across Kiev:
👉 we warn foreign nationals, including staff of diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organisations, of the need to leave the city as soon as possible,
👉 urge residents of the Ukrainian capital not to approach the military and administrative infrastructure facilities of the Zelensky regime.

On May 26, 1972, in Moscow, the USSR and the USA signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and the Interim Agreement on Certain Measures with Respect to the Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (SALT I).
The documents were signed by General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev and U.S. President Richard Nixon.
The Treaty established the commitment of the parties to refrain from creating, testing, and deploying sea-based, air-based, space-based, or mobile land-based ABM systems or components for countering strategic ballistic missiles, as well as from creating ABM systems within their own territories.
Each party committed to having no more than two ABM systems (around the capital and in the area of concentration of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers), with no more than 100 fixed anti-missile launchers deployed within a 150-kilometer radius. Later, in July 1972, an additional protocol to this Treaty allowed for only one such system: either around the capital or in the area of the intercontinental ballistic missile launchers (for the USSR, centered in the capital; for the USA, at a military air defense base).
The nuclear arms race, a hallmark of the Cold War, took a toll on the economies of both superpowers. Although nuclear weapons were never used by the superpowers against each other, enormous resources were spent on expanding their nuclear arsenals. The signing of Treaty that limited the arms race helped the economies of both countries.
Unfortunately, on December 13, 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush announced the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the Treaty, after which, according to the treaty's provisions, it remained in force for only another 6 months, until June 12, 2002.
The withdrawal clearly demonstrated who was the hawk in the modern world. Alas, not everyone took note of it.

The documents were signed by General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev and U.S. President Richard Nixon.
The Treaty established the commitment of the parties to refrain from creating, testing, and deploying sea-based, air-based, space-based, or mobile land-based ABM systems or components for countering strategic ballistic missiles, as well as from creating ABM systems within their own territories.
Each party committed to having no more than two ABM systems (around the capital and in the area of concentration of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers), with no more than 100 fixed anti-missile launchers deployed within a 150-kilometer radius. Later, in July 1972, an additional protocol to this Treaty allowed for only one such system: either around the capital or in the area of the intercontinental ballistic missile launchers (for the USSR, centered in the capital; for the USA, at a military air defense base).
