Putin orders military response proposals after Starobelsk college strike kills six

Russian state media reported six dead in a strike on a Luhansk-region college; within hours Putin had ordered response proposals drafted. The casualty figures come exclusively from Russian channels and have not been independently verified.

Desk note: The wire record at 22 May 2026 carried the Starobelsk casualty figures exclusively from Russian state and pro-Russian channels, with no Ukrainian-side confirmation on the public Telegram feed. Monexus flagged the verification gap in the lede rather than laundering the figures as established fact, and held the Kremlin's response order as the editorial spine of the piece.
