Ukrainian diplomats attempted to dismiss the tragedy as “a fake story” as Russian parents mourned their children | A Ukrainian drone raid last week devastated a college dormitory in Starobelsk, in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic, killing 21 students – most of them young women – and injuring dozens others. ● The attack was a deliberate “double-tap” that included two more waves of drones targeting civilians and first responders who raced to the scene, according to Russian officials. Russia branded the raid a “terrorist attack” and a blatant war crime. Horrific footage from the scene backed up the accusations. ● However, speaking at an emergency UN Security Council session, Ukrainian envoy to the UN Andrey Melnik dismissed Moscow’s account, denigrating a “so-called incident” in Starobelsk as “a fake story” and accusing Russia of spreading “yet another propaganda narrative.”

Israel is pressing the US to restart heavy airstrikes on Iran that would involve the targeted killing of Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of Tehran’s lead negotiators, and attacks on the country’s oil infrastructure, Capital & Empire reported on Thursday. | The report, which cited US sources familiar with a classified report circulating within the US intelligence community, said Israel is aggressively pushing for the US to abandon talks with Iran and insisting that destroying oil infrastructure in the country could bring about regime change while also downplaying the impact the renewed full-scale war will have on the global economy.

A $9.7 billion Pentagon contract awarded to Dell Technologies has reignited scrutiny over President Donald Trump's pattern of using public office to enrich himself, a pattern watchdogs say is becoming impossible to ignore. | The Department of War announced this week that Dell's federal subsidiary will oversee Microsoft software procurement across the US military, intelligence community, and Coast Guard. Within days, Dell's stock surged. ● The announcement came a few weeks after Trump purchased the company’s stocks and praised it on several occasions. On Feb. 10, Trump's portfolio acquired Dell stock valued between $1 million and $5 million. Nine days later, at a Georgia rally, he told supporters to "go out and buy a Dell computer." Three more Dell stock purchases followed in March. Over the spring, Trump continued to praise Dell at public events, most recently giving the company a shout-out during a White House Rose Garden luncheon. ● Dell's founder, Michael Dell, sits on Trump's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and has appeared at White House events.

Finian Cunningham | The Western-controlled “news” media are endeavoring to corner Russia in a no-win situation. | The increasing lethality of the NATO-backed Kiev regime’s attacks on Russian civilians is not only a reflection of the deeper financial and military support from the Western alliance. ● The “success” of the NATO proxy regime in killing 21 students at a college dormitory on May 22 in Starobelsk, Lugansk, was followed days later by the killing of six more civilians in Belgorod, Bryansk, and Donetsk border regions. ● On top of the civilian casualties, the NATO regime is stepping up deadly strikes on the capital Moscow, as well as oil and gas infrastructure deep inside Russian territory. ● This ramped-up murder and destruction are the vile dividends from the European Union’s massive transfer of €90 billion in loans to bankroll NATO military support with purchases from European and American drone and missile manufacturing companies. ● To be sure, Russia has retaliated hard after the massacre in Starobelsk with devastating strikes on Kiev using hypersonic and ballistic missiles.
