Claim of Ukrainian drone attack on Luhansk children's hostel with high casualties...

On the 21st of December, Ukraine launched a drone attack on a children's hostel in Luhansk's Starobelsk, where 86 children aged 14 to 18 were sleeping. 21 children died and over 50 were injured. The speaker questions why this news was not covered by any media, including those in Norway who talk about freedom of speech and women's rights, asking if they don't see the murder of these innocents. The speaker suggests that Ukraine, as a proxy for NATO and America, is being used to destroy the 'brain' of Russia, and that this incident was not an accident but a targeted drone attack on the hostel, meant to send a message to Russia.
