What is known about the strike on the school in Belogorovka
- About such a cynical and vile strike on the school from Russian The occupiers were also spoken by President Volodymyr Zelensky in a video message. According to him, the blow was aimed precisely at the school. After all, the Russians on the eve of May 9 forgot about the slogan “peace for everyone.” He assured that Ukraine and the world would remind him of this.
- Sergei Gaidai, on the other hand, reported the day after the strike that fighting was continuing in the village and around. They are very heavy, shelling is also constant. Therefore, until now, it was impossible to dismantle the rubble of the school. Thus, there are less and less chances to help those who could survive.
- In general, the situation in the Luhansk region is very difficult. The Russians are hitting the region just ruthlessly and almost without interruption, leveling it to the ground. They also want to cut off the region and have already equipped a river crossing for this. They even stole equipment there.
