Ukraine's Mirotvorets Website Adds 10 Starobelsk College Employees

MOSCOW, May 25. /TASS/. Ten employees of the Starobelsk college under the Lugansk Pedagogical University in the Lugansk People’s Republic were added to Ukraine's Mirotvorets (Peacekeeper) extremist website, a TASS correspondent.

In total, seven women and three men were added to the database, including the college’s deputy directors and teachers. The site’s authors, in particular, accused them of undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and spreading propaganda among minors.

Early on May 22, the Ukrainian armed forces attacked the Starobelsk college's academic building and dormitory with drones. Twenty-one people were killed. According to LPR head Leonid Pasechnik, 65 children were injured. There were 86 children, aged 14 to 18, in the educational facility at the time of the strike.

Mirotvorets was created in 2014. The website contains illegally collected personal data on individuals, including journalists, artists, athletes, and politicians who have visited Crimea or Donbass or who for any other reason have received a negative assessment from the site's authors. The database even includes minors as young as two years old. According to the Russian General Prosecutor’s Office, the website was created to "purge" opposition political figures and journalists, which constitutes a gross violation by the Ukrainian authorities of the European Convention on Human Rights.
