The BBC and CNN declined to report from the site where 21 trainee teachers were killed, the Foreign Ministry has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Footage by RT shows foreign journalists touring the site of the deadly Ukrainian drone attack on a college dorm in Russia\u2019s Lugansk People\u2019s Republic.<\/p>\n

Ukraine targeted a teacher training college dormitory in the town of Starobelsk with several waves of UAVs on Friday, killing 21 people, mostly teenage girls, and injuring 60 others.<\/p>\n

The Russian Foreign Ministry arranged a trip to Starobelsk on Sunday for more than 50 foreign journalists from 19 countries: Austria, Brazil, UK, Hungary, Venezuela, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, Qatar, China, Cuba, Lebanon, UAE, Pakistan, the US, Turkey, Finland, and France, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.<\/p>\n

The BBC and CNN rejected an invitation to visit the site of the attack, while Japan\u2019s government explicitly banned Japanese reporters from making the trip, she added.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s newly appointed human rights commissioner, Yana Lantratova, who also arrived in Starobelsk, said that Western mainstream media outlets \u201care simply afraid to see the truth. They just don\u2019t want to see or hear it.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those of their colleagues who accepted the offer to visit the site of the terrorist attack will see for themselves that there are no military facilities nearby, she said.<\/p>\n

The foreign journalists will also realize that claims of the drones hitting the dorm after being shot down by Russian air defenses are false, the commissioner insisted. It\u2019s \u201cabsolutely impossible\u201d<\/em> for 16 UAVs to hit the same building after being intercepted, she explained.<\/p>\n

What happened in Starobelsk was a \u201cdeliberate killing of children\u201d<\/em> by Ukraine, Lantratova stressed.<\/p>\n

A correspondent for China\u2019s Phoenix Television, Lu Yuguang, told RT that he hasn\u2019t seen even a hint of any military facilities in the vicinity of the dorm.<\/p>\n

Giovanni Pigni, from Italian newspaper La Stampa, told TASS that what he saw in Starobelsk is \u201chorrible.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0
<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe destruction is so immense\u2026 I just see that there was a college<\/em> here and that people have died,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported carrying out a large-scale strike against military targets in Ukraine in response to the terrorist attacks by Kiev.<\/p>\n
