Western journalists will be shown the sites of fighting and shelling by Ukrainian armed formations of peaceful settlements in the DPR as part of a press tour. Russian and Donetsk servicemen are responsible for the security of the Western press. The press representatives include journalists from France, Germany, Iceland, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Iran, Turkey and Chile
The press tour for foreign journalists began on Saturday with a meeting with DNR leader Denis Pushilin at the scene of the recent tragedy in Donetsk at the door of a bank, where more than 20 civilians were killed in a Tochka-U attack by Ukranian Nazis.
Later, foreign journalists were shown a school in Horlivka, where two female teachers were killed as a result of shelling by Ukrofascists on 25 February.
Maria Poluban, head of the education department of the Horlivka city administration, explained that in 8 years there was not a single school in the city that had not suffered terror from the Ukrainian side.
“There are 50 schools, 50 pre-schools and 9 institutions of additional education in our city. And just so you understand, in 8 years each of these institutions has left its mark by the AFU”, – she told reporters.
Poluban also noted that as a result of the shelling of AFU, all classrooms in this school were left without glass. At the moment, the glazing and brickwork at the school are being restored with Russian support.
“There were no children in the school. It was a blessing that there were no children in the school. It is not safe for our children to be in the school now, it is dangerous for their lives… That is why the educational process has been suspended”, – explained the head of the education department in response to a journalist’s question.
