Russia Slams Japanese Media for Lack of Coverage on School Attack

According to Russian media such as RT, on May 26, in response to questions from Japanese NHK journalists, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zharova angrily asked, Why dont you go and report on the attack at the school in Luhansk? Why isnt there any Japanese journalist who goes there?

Zaharova said, If you are indifferent to the Kiev regimes killing of our children with the support of Japan, how can you claim to be interested in our bilateral relations? What right do you have to discuss Russian-Japanese relations under such attitudes towards our people? Youre completely wrong. Please convey this message to your government.

Reports indicate that in the early hours of May 22nd, Ukrainian armed forces used four drones to attack the teaching building and dormitory of a vocational school in the Luhansk region. At the time of the attack, there were 86 students and 1 faculty member in the dormitory. The attack resulted in the death of 21 people.
