The Ukrainian Juntas Genocide
In the early morning hours of Friday, May 22, 86 students from Starobelsk College, part of the pedagogical university in Luhansk, lay safely in their beds. Perhaps they dreamed, like so many other young people, of a long life ahead. Maybe they were filled with expectations of love, hope, and faith in the future. The young teacher trainees were to be educated so they could take responsibility for the next generation in the terror-stricken Donbas in eastern Ukraine, with the ambition of leading the Luhansk region out of the shadow of war and into a more stable fut
The dormitory was hit by 16 Ukrainian attack drones in three waves. At least four drones struck buildings on the school grounds, including the dormitory where the students were sleeping. As of May 24, 2026, at least 21 students, mainly girls, have been reported killed, while 42 others are injured or reported missing. At the same time, rescue workers fear that the death toll will rise further, as several people are still believed to be trapped beneath the rubble.
The screams of the victims buried beneath the rubble of the collapsed dormitory have long since fallen silent and have been followed by the desperate cries of relatives frantically searching for the bodies of their loved ones. Heartbreaking scenes unfolded as the bodies were uncovered. Mothers screamed in horror and indescribable grief when they recognized their children among the dead. Pain and despair filled the air while families desperately tried to understand the scale of the tragedy. Several of the victims did not die immediately, but suffered in their final moments — alone, wounded, and without any possibility of help. These are images and sounds that will burn themselves into the memory of all the survivors who were present.
The Ukrainian terror continued while rescue workers continued searching for survivors in the collapsed building where the young people had slept into death.
Ukraine's war crimes continue.
The drone attacks on the civilian target are a clear war crime. Since they were conducted with great precision in three waves, this was not a single mistaken attack. It was a deliberate terrorist attack against a civilian target. The precision could only be achieved with outside assistance in the form of NATO technical assistance and weapons supplied by the EU and NATO, including Denmark's financing of deadly weapons. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs states this directly. Danish taxpayers' money is to finance the supply of Ukraine with significant deadly military support in the form of weapons, equipment, and other military technology. Danish ministers such as the Russophobe, boundary-crossing war hawk Mette Frederiksen even boast that "measured per capita, this places Denmark among the largest contributors of deadly military support to Ukraine." And not only that, but they also write that "Denmark continuously examines opportunities to further increase support to meet Ukraine's changing military needs." No one knows where the money ends up. Ukraine is not a democracy; it is a corrupt dictatorship that violates all human rights.
The Danish support makes Danish politicians complicit. Those who voted for incompetent politicians who contribute to killing innocent school students by supporting Ukraine with Danish taxpayers' money should be held accountable for their participation in the Ukrainian regime's genocide against Russian civilians — because they are complicit. The barbaric military junta in Kiev enjoys the support of the EU and NATO. While rescue workers were still working after the bestial terror in Luhansk, NATO Secretary General Rutte declared his continued support for Ukraine. And there are even those who believe the despicable war criminal Zelensky should receive a peace prize. He deserves to be convicted for crimes against humanity, as leading Nazis were during the Nuremberg Trials after 1945.
Where are the Danish government, so-called Danish left-wing politicians, such as Per Clausen and others, who find it acceptable that Ukraine continuously bombs civilian targets in Russia while lying and saying that they only hit military targets? Where is the media in all this? The critical journalist is so rare that she should be stuffed and exhibited in a museum of press history. Today's journalists, opinion makers, and politicians do their part to suppress an objective narrative that stands up against the deceitful propaganda of the fact-checkers.
Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, condemned the attack and requested that the Russian Ministry of Defense prepare possible responses. Although BBC, CNN, and other Western media were officially invited to inspect the site, they either remained silent or deceitfully repeated the Ukrainian presentation of the dormitory as a military target. As an insult to the dead, the American television channel CNN responded to the invitation by saying that the journalists were allegedly "on vacation." At the same time, the Japanese government reportedly forbade Japanese journalists from covering the attack on Starobelsk. Danish media are silent, or function as microphone holders for untrustworthy NATO-, EU-, and Ukraine-friendly sources.
The Russian retaliatory attack on the night of May 24 caused significant damage to military installations, companies, and military command centers. There are reports that Russia used supersonic Oreshnik missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, which, according to untrustworthy Ukrainian propaganda, killed four people and injured around 80 people. Here, however, the media report everything uncritically, while continuing to refrain from sending journalists, despite Russian invitations, to the school in Starobelsk. Western sources continue to remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the terror attack on the students' dormitory rooms.
NATO's Complicity
It was George F. Kennan who, originally, in an article written under a pseudonym — the infamous "X" article titled "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" — published a strategy that still lives today. The article stated that "a long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansionist tendencies was necessary." The article must, of course, today be seen for what it is. Beneath the "empirical surface" governed by the everyday consciousness of many, one does not see the dreams of the imperialist centers to secure control over, plunder, and rob Russia, then the Soviet Union, of land and resources. At the same time, gaining access to a cheap, highly educated labor force that could be exploited would only contribute to increasing capital export and the export of unprocessed resources out of Russia to imperialist centers in the USA and Europe.
It should be said that Kennan's original understanding of containment was more limited than the way it was later interpreted by his successors. An expanded interpretation, however, explains the growing engagement of U.S. imperialism in Vietnam, Laos, and Korea and later in Iraq and Afghanistan, just as it explains the present wars and American attempts to gain control over Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Nigeria, Iran, and, in the long term, logically Russia and the other BRICS countries. One can use fine words such as food security and energy security, but beneath the empirical surface lurks American imperialism. Unlike later foreign policy initiatives, containment for Kennan was about seeing the policy of containment as political rather than military. He warned against turning the containment of Russia and, in the long term, China into a global doctrine, which it has since become.
The American government's Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (2023) formulated a strategy partly to contain and fragment Russia into independent small states, as was seen in the former Yugoslavia. The Helsinki Commission, which is a body under the Commission, did not explicitly use the term "Balkanization." Instead, the plan — however delusional it may be — argues for a splitting of Russia into approximately ten states. The Commission instead used the concept of "decolonization" in connection with an online briefing titled "Decolonizing Russia – a Moral and Strategic Imperative." Here, the Commission demonstrates a total lack of knowledge about the scientific analysis of what neocolonialism and imperialism are. Russia is hegemonic in its relations with the former Soviet republics, but that is different from the imperialism described in the analyses of Marxists such as Rosa Luxemburg, Vladimir Lenin, and dependency theorists in their groundbreaking works. The panel behind the briefing included no distinguished scholars in their postulate of an alleged Russian imperialism.
The Russian Federation is nevertheless described as "maliciously imperialist toward the entire world," and without documentation, it is claimed that "Moscow's domination over many indigenous non-Russian nations" is brutal. The total lack of understanding of what economic imperialism is leads to the assertion of the necessity of "decolonizing" Russia so that the country can "become a viable actor in European security and stability." Considering NATO's continued existence after 1991 and despite the promise of the opposite by James Baker and Hans Dietrich Genscher, we see an aggressive expansion toward Russia's borders. Imperialism seeks to promote Western values tied to neoliberalism and globalized American dominance.
Atlantic Council calls this an updated strategy of containment. Atlantic Council is often incorrectly described as a non-profit NGO — a fig leaf since the organization functions as an unofficial arm of NATO, financed by the American government and its allies. The containment strategy aims at a long-term strategic confrontation with Russia and regards the relationship as antagonistic and conflict-filled, with few safety valves, where "even the modest ambition of peaceful coexistence may be out of reach for a long time to come."
The British intelligence service plays a central role in what some describe as a "mental war" against Russia — a strategy intended to undermine the morale of the Russian population and its trust in the state. The concept of mental warfare is used here about a form of modern conflict where the goal is not primarily to conquer territory, but to influence a country's collective consciousness, national identity, and political will through misinformation, psychological operations, and continuous influence — in short, cognitive brainwashing of an entire population. According to this presentation, the British in Russia in the 1990s began to build networks of contacts and influential figures in neoliberal Russian circles, while the country was marked by political and moral disintegration.
Where the USA sought imperialist control through promises of modernization, investments, and political reforms, the British strategy is described as supplementary and more indirect and long-term. The goal was to promote a feeling of national inadequacy and strengthen an elite culture where capital was taken out of Russia instead of being invested in the country. The consequence would be a weakened Russia and a stronger orientation toward the West.
The intention was to make Russians lose faith in their own country and then voluntarily subordinate themselves to a West which, according to the text, would never accept them as equals. In this way, one sought to create a permanent class of "new serfs" — a comprador bourgeoisie serving Western capital rather than Russian, independent interests.
Ukrainian-Western Cooperation in Developing Weapons of Killing
According to The Defense Post, Germany signed a production contract for the construction of thousands of autonomous attack drones for Ukraine, marking the country's largest step so far into industrial large-scale production of heavy unmanned combat systems.
The agreement makes it possible for the joint venture company Auterion Airlogix to begin production in Germany of medium-range autonomous drones for Ukraine's armed forces. According to the companies involved, the agreement changes the cooperation announced during a security conference in Munich in February 2026 into financed production on a large scale with a planned annual production of several thousand systems.
Since Russia's special military operation in 2022, Ukraine expanded its partnerships concerning drone production by using both domestic startup companies and foreign defense firms, including Denmark, to upgrade deliveries of so-called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles); these will be able to strike both civilian and military targets. In February, Lithuania once again began a fundraising campaign to finance robotic systems for Ukraine's armed forces. These include drone-based reconnaissance, guidance, long-range drones, and neutralization of drones. In December 2025, the German drone manufacturer Quantum Systems and the Ukrainian defense technology startup Frontline Robotics established a joint venture to initiate mass production of drones. Earlier, in October 2025, the Netherlands announced a partnership with Ukraine concerning the production of deep-strike drones. The agreement, worth 127 million dollars, is part of the initiative "Build with Ukraine."
In February 2024, Denmark agreed on international drone cooperation, obligating Denmark to guarantee Ukraine a delivery of 1 million small attack drones. The countries in the agreement could co-finance a common pool for the acquisition of attack drones for Ukraine. In addition to this, the Danish government proclaimed that Denmark would support Ukraine's aggression for the next ten years. It immediately sent 1.7 billion kroner from the Ukraine Fund, among other things, for the purchase of drones.
Danish weapons producers entered into agreements with the junta in Kiev concerning cooperation with the Danish government's industrial umbrella. An internal note from the Danish Business Authority shows that a Ukrainian weapons producer will obtain or has obtained permission to produce parts for rockets close to Skrydstrup Air Base near Vojens. More specifically, according to Danish TV2, this concerns the Ukrainian weapons producer FPRT, which, among other things, will produce so-called solid rocket fuel on Danish industrial grounds.
Denmark and other European countries are therefore indirectly complicit in the murder of innocent civilians in Ukraine. And the question that naturally arises is whether Danish taxpayers' funds have gone toward murdering school students in Starobelsk or other murders committed elsewhere on Russian territory.
The drone terror from the Ukrainian side involves plans that Kiev with Western support, will launch a massive attack with more than 6,000 drones against Russia in the coming weeks, at the end of May and beginning of June. Neither Ukraine nor the collective West can defeat Russia on the traditional physical battlefield. One knows this very well, now that Russia is winning the war, therefore the terror is, if not among the last convulsions, then the beginning of systematic terror against civilians in Russia and Donbas/Crimea.
The UN Definition of Genocide – Elaboration
The United Nations defines genocide as one of the most serious crimes against humanity. The definition originates from the UN Genocide Convention of 1948, adopted after the Holocaust to prevent similar crimes in the future.
The central aspect of the definition concerns the intention behind the actions. For something to be legally designated genocide, there must be a deliberate intention wholly or partly to destroy a particular group of people. The group must be identified based on nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion. The UN describes several types of actions that can constitute genocide.
This involves direct killing of members of a population group or organized attacks against persons because they belong to the group in question, just as one inflicts serious physical or psychological harm on the group, as seen in the Russian part of Ukraine and on Russian territory. Terror bombings and killings of children and young people conducted by the USA and Ukraine against the schools in Minab, Hormozgan Province, in southern Iran, and in Starobelsk, Luhansk, are genocide. In addition, deteriorated living conditions because of sanctions affecting the living conditions of the civilian population and increasing mortality among the sick and vulnerable, as seen in Venezuela and currently in Cuba, are genocide or attempts to promote genocide. One deliberately subjects civilians to hunger, shortages of medicine, or, in general, conditions making it impossible for the group to survive over time.
An important aspect is that the UN definition does not establish a minimum number of victims. In short, classification as genocide under the UN definition depends on the intention and the specific actions directed against a group, rather than a predetermined number of victims. Therefore, genocide can legally take place even if the number of killed is relatively low, if an intention to destroy the group can be proven. Conversely, exceptionally large losses of human life are not automatically genocide if this intention cannot be documented.
The War in Ukraine Was Initiated by the USA and NATO in 2014
Alfred de Zayas, professor of international law and world history at the Geneva School of Diplomacy, is a former independent UN expert within the field of international order. De Zayas is not a "Mr. Nobody." He is furthermore a former secretary of the UN Human Rights Committee, as well as the author of 12 books, including Building a Just World Order.
Like many others, among them Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Professor John Mearsheimer, and independent researchers and journalists, emphasize that the war in Ukraine did not begin with Russia's special military operation on February 24, 2022. The war began in 2014 after the Maidan coup initiated by Victoria Nuland, the Obama administration, Joe Biden, American members of Congress, the CIA, the American embassy, right-wing nationalists, and Ukrainian Nazis. The civilian population in Donbas was since 2014 subjected to continued attacks from Western Ukraine supported by NATO despite the Minsk agreements, which, in accordance with international law, were supposed to give Donbas and Crimea increased self-determination and political self-government. These attacks on Luhansk and Donetsk increased significantly in January–February 2022, as reported by the OSCE's special monitoring mission in Ukraine.
According to de Zayas, the Russian population in Donbas had reason to feel threatened considering the hateful rhetoric, discrimination, and violent assaults against the Russian population from the leaders of the Maidan coup in Ukraine. The discriminatory legislation involved the prohibition of the Russian language, persecution of the Russian church, and the prohibition of political parties. The level of hatred expressed by politicians and media certainly constituted "hate speech" and was contrary to Article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which prohibits both war propaganda and incitement to hatred and discrimination.
Ukraine has consistently, since 2014, violated international law concerning the right of all peoples to self-determination, which likewise includes the Russian populations in Crimea and Donbas. After referendums with international observers' supervision, the population, and the local governments desired affiliation with what later became New Russia, including Eastern Ukraine.
The Genocide in Donbas
According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, around 13,000 people were killed, of whom a quarter were civilians, and up to 30,000 were wounded in the war in eastern Ukraine since it broke out in April 2014. Some sources speak about a genocide involving 14,000 dead, while the so-called Radio Free Europe, previously an anti-communist propaganda center, is more cautious in its estimate. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated in a document dated February 25, 2020, that the estimated death toll included more than 3,300 civilian deaths. This happened while the smoldering conflict between Russian-supported separatists and government forces approached its sixth year.
The High Commissioner estimated the total number of conflict-related casualties in Ukraine at between 40,000 and 43,000 from April 14, 2014, to January 31, 2019, including between 12,800 and 13,000 killed. The estimated death toll also includes 4,000 members of Ukrainian forces and 5,500 members of so-called "armed groups," where one should remember that Nazi units, among them the notorious Azov Battalion, were incorporated into the regular Ukrainian army. Several fascists, old-Nazis, and neo-Nazi groups operated (s) beneath the surface of official Ukraine, which in some cases even resulted in political representation. The figures for wounded or disabled were estimated by the High Commissioner at between 27,500 and 30,000, including 7,000 to 9,000 civilians.
Other Ukrainian Terror Actions
The murderous fire in the trade union building in Odessa cost people their lives, burning to death alive in the flames, while others died when they jumped or fell from the building to save themselves. The war crimes in Crimea were committed with missiles supplied by the USA to the Ukrainian army. An attack with five American ballistic ATACMS missiles with cluster bombs against a civilian beach in Sevastopol can only be described as deliberately executed terror.
Four of the missiles were shot down, but one exploded above the beach and caused major casualties among the bathers. The attack could not have been carried out without support from American instructors, other American military personnel in Ukraine, and American expertise shared with Ukraine. Cluster bombs are covered by international prohibition. Eyewitnesses said the area was covered with smoke and that people screamed during the attack in Sevastopol. Four civilians were killed, including children, and more than 150 people were injured.
The Russian-controlled administration at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was subjected to several attempted drone attacks from Ukraine. According to local officials, the drones struck the facility's sixth reactor building without fortunately creating a meltdown as seen in connection with the Chornobyl disaster in 1986. Several Ukrainian drones sent toward the power plant previously resulted in at least one drone striking the dome above reactor 6. This triggered international concern from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The safety of Europe's largest nuclear power plant was in danger, prompting condemnation from the head of the agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi. The danger of a major nuclear accident and radioactive contamination can, as under Chornobyl, affect large parts of Eastern Europe and eastern Scandinavia. The incident was the most serious event at the plant since 2022, when the UN nuclear agency established a series of safety principles to avoid a nuclear catastrophe in the war-torn area.
The countless terror actions committed on Russian territory and in Donbas against civilians should be part of a broad debate concerning the war in Ukraine. That does not happen — there are no limits to how far the Ukrainian terror and genocide will go. And it is concealed by Western media because it does not fit the common narratives about the terrible Russians.
Launching Attacks from Densely Populated Civilian Areas with the Civilian Population as Shield
Ukrainian forces exposed civilians to danger by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in densely populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, while they allegedly attempted to repel the Russian invasion that began in February 2022, Amnesty International stated at the time.
Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians because they unintentionally make civilian objects military targets. The subsequent Russian attacks in populated areas killed civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure because of this.
"We documented a pattern where Ukrainian forces expose civilians to risk and violate the laws of war when they operate in populated areas," said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International in 2022.
"Being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law," she said.
Between April and July 2022, Amnesty International researchers spent several weeks investigating Russian attacks in the Kharkiv, Donbas, and Mykolaiv regions. The organization inspected attack sites, interviewed survivors, witnesses, and relatives of victims of attacks, and did remote analysis and weapons analysis. During these investigations, the researchers found evidence that Ukrainian forces launched attacks from densely populated residential areas and established themselves in civilian buildings in 19 cities and villages in the regions. The organization's Crisis Evidence Lab analyzed satellite images further to confirm some of these incidents.
Most residential areas where soldiers positioned themselves were located several kilometers from the front lines. Usable alternatives existed, which would not have endangered civilians, such as military bases or dense forest areas nearby, or other structures farther away from residential areas. In the cases documented by Amnesty International, the organization is not aware that the Ukrainian military, which positioned itself in civilian buildings in residential areas, asked civilians to or helped them evacuate nearby buildings — this was a failure to take all possible precautions to protect civilians.
Survivors and witnesses to Russian attacks in the Donbas, Kharkiv, and Mykolaiv regions told Amnesty International researchers that the Ukrainian military in 2022 operated near their homes around the time of the attacks and thereby exposed the areas to retaliatory fire from Russian forces. Amnesty International researchers observed such behavior in several places.
International humanitarian law requires all parties in a conflict, as far as possible, to avoid placing military targets in or near densely populated areas. Other obligations to protect civilians from the effects of attacks include removing civilians from the vicinity of military targets and giving effective warning about attacks that may affect the civilian population. Since 2022, there have been other reports that Ukrainian troops use the civilian population as a shield and afterward declare that Russian forces killed civilians during an attack on the Ukrainian forces. The Bucha massacre is not yet investigated satisfactory and circumstantial evidence points to the fact that the murders of Russian civilians took place after Russian troops had left the areas (!) This strategy was already seen in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the civil war in Yugoslavia, when Muslim troops hid among civilians and came under fire that led to civilian casualties. Afterwards, one accused Serbian and Montenegrin troops of murdering civilians. Also, here there were cases where Muslims killed their own!
