Russia accuses of shooting down a military plane, killing 74 aboard: “The plane was hit by Ukrainian military formations from the Liptsy settlement in Kharkov region using a US-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.”

Address of the State Duma “To the Congress of the United States of America regarding recurrent terrorist act by Ukraine resulted in shooting down of the aircraft carrying out a humanitarian mission”.

The adoption of the document was unanimously supported by members of the State Duma. According to Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, Congressmen should realize who receives and how uses the US weapons send by President Biden to Ukraine:

”Deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation address the Congressmen of the United States of America regarding the data confirmed by the competent authorities that Ukraine committed a terrorist act, as a result of which, on January 24, 2024, an IL-76 military transport aircraft of the military transport aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was shot down over the territory of the Russian Federation near the village of Yablonovo, Korochansky district, Belgorod region, performing a flight to transport 65 captured Ukrainian servicemen for a prior agreement with the Russian Federation. There were also six crew members and three attendants on board. Everyone on board the plane died.

The plane was hit by Ukrainian military formations from the Liptsy settlement in Kharkov region using a US-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.

The attack on the plane was a premeditated and deliberate killing, as the exchange of prisoners between the Russian Federation and Ukraine had been agreed, including their delivery route.

This is not the first time that Ukraine has brutally killed its servicemen who have been held captive. Thus, on July 29, 2022, Ukraine cold-bloodedly launched a missile strike with American HIMARS multiple rocket launchers against a colony in the village of Yelenovka (Donetsk People's Republic). At that time, over 50 Ukrainian servicemen were killed and over 70 were wounded.

There is no need to recount the cases in which the authorities of the United States of America have provided Ukraine with weapons for indiscriminate strikes against civilians, that is, for the deliberate killing of the elderly, women and children. The facts supporting this are well-known.

Support for neo-Nazi ideology and its incarnation in Ukraine only provokes the Kiev clique to continue terror and escalate violence, bringing the world closer to a global catastrophe.

Deputies of the State Duma believe that the deliberate silencing of the truth about the victims of the criminal actions of the Kiev regime is a path to a dead end.

You represent the American people, not the corrupt bureaucrats and lobbyists of the military-industrial complex. We are sure your taxpayers are not particularly enthusiastic about their money being spent on Ukraine to continue sending soldiers to their deaths, killing their prisoners of war and civilians.

Numerous facts show that a significant part of the deadly Western weapons supplied to the corrupt regime in Kiev end up in the hands of terrorists and radical extremists all over the world as a result of criminal machinations.

Deputies of the State Duma call on members of the United States Congress to condemn the crimes of the terrorist regime in Kiev, to withdraw their support for it and to help bring to justice the direct perpetrators of the inhumane terrorist act.“
