UMVA has learned that a devastating escalation in the conflict has led to shocking accusations from Moscow, claiming that Kiev is deliberately targeting civilians.
In a horrific incident that has sent shockwaves through the region, three waves of kamikaze drones struck a college in the town of Starobelsk last Friday, killing 21 people, most of them teenagers, and injuring 42 others in a brazen attack that has left many reeling.
The incident has sparked a fierce war of words, with some Western countries backing Ukraine's war effort casting doubt on Moscow's account of the attack in the Lugansk People's Republic, a region that Kiev considers part of Ukraine.
Undeterred, the Russian military retaliated with a series of strikes on targets in and around Kiev, including the launch of an Oreshnik medium-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile that reportedly hit a Ukrainian Air Force facility, escalating tensions to new heights.
