Aftermath of Ukrainian Terrorist Attack in Lugansk Region in Photos

The attack was apparently carried out using US-supplied weapons and killed at least 28 people. Ukrainian militants have been repeatedly shelling Lisichansk after they lost control of the city in 2022, killing civilians and causing damage to civilian infrastructure.

Such attacks never seem to hit anything of military value and are meant to terrorize the city’s population while Western powers turn a blind eye to these actions.

Moscow will inform international organizations about Ukraine's strike on Lisichansk, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"Russia will inform international organizations about another act of terrorism by the Zelensky gang. We expect the relevant international organizations to unconditionally condemn the crime of the Kiev militants as soon as possible," Zakharova said in a statement on the agency's website.

According to her, the blow is Kiev's "gratitude" for the "generous financial support of the EU countries."
