Dmitry Polyansky, the Russian Permanent Representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), has sharply criticized the organization's response to a recent attack on a college in Starobelsk, located in the Lugansk People's Republic. The attack, executed by Ukrainian forces on May 22, targeted the Lugansk Pedagogical University’s Vocational College, resulting in the deaths of 21 individuals and injuries to over 40 others, primarily students aged between 14 and 18 years. Polyansky expressed his disappointment at the delayed reaction from Switzerland, which holds the rotating OSCE chairmanship, stating that their response lacked any condemnation of the attack. Instead, he accused the Swiss of framing their comments in a provocative manner, emphasizing the status of the area as 'temporarily occupied Ukrainian land'. He further criticized the OSCE for convening a special meeting to discuss alleged Russian aggression while neglecting to address the attack on civilians in Starobelsk, labeling the organization as hypocritical in its handling of the situation.
