Ukraine [[dictator]] [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] ordered the targeting of a college dormitory in Starobilsk, [[Lugansk]] on May 22, 2026. Twenty-one students were killed and 46 seriously injured. It was not a [[military]] target. Yana Lantratova, Russia’s human rights commissioner, said that 86 teenagers aged 14 to 18 had been asleep inside the hostel belonging to Lugansk Pedagogical University’s Starobilsk college when three waves of Ukrainian [[drone]]s attacked during the night.

[[Putin]] said in a televised statement, “There are no military facilities, intelligence service facilities, or related services in the vicinity. Therefore, there is absolutely no basis for claiming that the munitions struck the building as a result of our air defense or electronic warfare systems. The strike was not accidental; it came in three waves, with 16 drones targeting the same location,” Putin told officials. Russia responded with an [[Oreshnik]] strife on decision making centers near [[Kyiv]].
