The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been ongoing for several years.
MOSCOW, May 23. /TASS/. The BBC has declined to visit the site of a Ukrainian attack on a college in the city of Starobelsk, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"The British Broadcasting Corporation has formally declined to visit Starobelsk," she wrote on Telegram. "CNN must be on vacation," Zakharova added, making it clear that no requests had been received from the US media outlet.
Earlier, Zaharova said that Moscow would arrange a visit of foreign reporters to the site of the Ukrainian attack on a college in the Lugansk People’s Republic amid claims by Western officials that no such strike had taken place.
The Ukrainian military launched drones at the academic building and dormitory of the Lugansk Pedagogical University’s Vocational College in the city of Starobelsk in the early hours of May 22. As many as 86 students aged from 14 and 18 years were inside at the time of the attack. According to the latest reports, the attack killed 12 people.
