State Duma deputies unanimously adopted an appeal to the US Congress due to the attack on the Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft, which was shot down by a missile from the American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). This is reported on website lower house of parliament.
State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin emphasized that congressmen should know how the weapons sent to Ukraine by US President Joe Biden are used.
In their address, the deputies called the downing of a Russian plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners near the village of Yablonovo, Belgorod Region, a terrorist act. “The attack on the plane was a deliberate and deliberate murder, since the exchange of prisoners between the Russian Federation and Ukraine was agreed upon, including the route for their delivery,” the document says.
Russian parliamentarians also stated that “support for neo-Nazi ideology and its implementation in Ukraine” provokes Kyiv to “continue terror and escalate violence,” which is leading the world to a global catastrophe.
In conclusion, the deputies noted that numerous facts confirm that part of the weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine “falls into the hands of terrorists and radical extremists around the world.” Parliamentarians called on the US Congress to condemn the criminal actions of Kyiv, refuse its support and assist in bringing to justice the perpetrators of the attack on the Russian Il-76.
