The European Union on Sunday showed its dismay at Russia’s “blatant disregard” for the lives of civilians shown by attacking a school in Ukraine used as a refuge in the Lugansk region, in the east of the country.

The EU27 are “dismayed by the Russian airstrike on a school building in Belogorovka, Lugansk region, in which many children are reported to have died,” said the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, on his official Twitter account.

Look: How gravitating is Western intelligence to help Ukraine in the war?

“The European Union condemns the blatant disregard of Russia for civilian life and will support efforts to bring perpetrators to justice.”added the head of European diplomacy.

The school center collapsed after the attack and 30 people could be rescued, after which the regional governor of Lugansk, Serhiy Gaidai, maintained in a message through Telegram that the 60 people who are buried have probably died.

The town of Belogorovka is located in one of the areas where heavy fighting is taking place between Ukrainian and Russian troops in the separatist region of Lugansk.
