‘Absolutely Cynical’:Russia FM Spox Zakharova SLAMS Western Media for Attending SPIEF Forum but Ignoring Terror Attack in Russia

Thu, 04/06/2026 - 1:55pm — Carol

The BBC and CNN have rejected an invitation to visit the site of the deadly Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian college dorm

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has urged the participants of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to begin every conversation with Western journalists with the word "Starobelsk."

Starobelsk is a town in Russia's Lugansk People's Republic where 21 people, mostly teenage girls, were killed and dozens more injured in a multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack on a college dorm on May 22.

Western politicians turned a blind eye to the atrocity, while the BBC and CNN rejected an invitation by the Russian authorities to visit the site of the attack.

Xi only mentioned one war - and that was the conflict in the Middle East.

He told Putin that a complete end to the war in Iran was of "utmost urgency"

Xi and Putin both called out 

  • treacherous military strikes against other
    countries, 
  • the hypocritical use of negotiations as cover for preparing
    such strikes, 
  • the assassination of leaders of sovereign states, 
  • the
    destabilisation of the domestic political situation in these states and
    the provocation of regime change, 
  • and the brazen kidnapping of national
    leaders for trial.
