Starobelsk Visit Revealed Reality on the Ground: US Journalist
US journalist Christopher Helali told RIA Novosti on Wednesday that his visit to the site of a Ukrainian deadly drone strike on a college in Starobelsk helped him convey the truth about Kiev's crimes to the Western audience.
"We were a few of us from the US that were there, specifically it was Rick Sanchez and myself, and it was very important to be there to show the truth and to bring that to the Western audience, which we did," Helali said on the sidelines of the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
He also stressed the importance of other US media outlets also visiting the site of the tragedy.
"I would bring US journalists to the Lugansk [Luhansk] People's Republic to show them evidence of the crime made by the Ukrainian regime against the college students in Starobelsk," Helali added.
During the night of May 21-22, Ukrainian forces attacked an academic building and a dormitory of the Starobelsk Professional College of Lugansk State Pedagogical University. Twenty-one people were killed and over 40 others wounded.

Russia Pledges Greater Role in Ensuring Global Food Security: Deputy FM
Russia will step up its efforts to ensure global food security, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.
"As governments, we must do everything in our power to ensure food security in the broadest sense. On the Russian side, we will and are already working on this with full intensity and a sense of responsibility," Ryabkov said during a Russia-Brazil business dialogue at the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
David Laborde, director of the Agrifood Economics Division at the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), warned in April that the world could see a food supply catastrophe if the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continued.
In November 2025, Director of the FAO Liaison Office with Russia Oleg Kobiakov said that around 40 countries needed constant external food assistance.

Russia, Brazil to Continue Building Independent Financial System: Senior Russian Diplomat
Russia and Brazil will continue their joint efforts to build a financial system free from external pressure, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.
"We will continue to work to create an independent financial architecture that is resilient to external challenges and serves as a guaranteed and reliable means of providing our entrepreneurs — and indeed all citizens of our countries — with essential goods and services," Ryabkov said during a Russia-Brazil business dialogue at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
The Russian diplomat said he was convinced that Western protectionism and the removal of Brazil from the European Union's list of its animal product exporters undermined global economic development and widened the gap between rich and poor countries, as well as between the rich and the poor in those countries.
"we are committed to ensuring equal conditions for all participants in international trade," he added.
