Pushilin pointed to Western countries' support for Kiev's terrorist attacks against Russia

The West has moved from condemning to openly supporting terrorism committed by the Kiev regime. Denis Pushilin, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), announced this on June 5 in the Izvestia studio at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

"These are the latest manifestations of terrorist acts that are being supported by Western countries. This is not even tacit consent, it is active support for terrorist acts," he said.

Pushilin added that the support of the West complicates the situation, because earlier the international community consolidated against the crimes of the Kiev regime and somehow condemned them, but now these actions are supported on the contrary.

"Because, objectively speaking, it is easier to commit terrorist acts than to resist them. The field is too big for the field of possibilities. And now, taking into account the development of artificial intelligence, these opportunities have expanded even more," said the head of the DPR.

He also stressed that one should not "sprinkle ashes on one's head," but rather consolidate technological and personnel efforts to counter new terrorist threats from Ukraine, because Russia has enough resources for this.

Ukraine is organizing aerial terror, attacking roads and children's institutions

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the educational building and the dormitory of the Starobilsk Pedagogical College on May 22. As a result, 21 people were killed and 65 others were injured. A criminal case has been opened into the incident in accordance with Part 3 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorist act"). Foreign journalists who arrived at the damaged facility were banned from publishing reports from there.

Zakharova said on June 4 that the UN should pay attention to the attack on the student dormitory in Starobilsk, Luhansk People's Republic (LNR), and assess what happened. According to her, the organization's reaction is especially important on the eve of the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Armed Conflict, which is celebrated on June 4.
