Deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation appeal to the congressmen of the United States of America in connection with data confirmed by the competent authorities about the commission of a terrorist act by Ukraine, as a result of which on January 24, 2024, an Il plane was shot down over the territory of the Russian Federation near the village of Yablonovo, Korochansky district, Belgorod region -76 military transport aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, carrying out a flight to transport 65 captured Ukrainian military personnel for a pre-agreed exchange. There were also six crew members and three attendants on board. Everyone on board the plane died.
The plane was shot down by Ukrainian military units from the area of Liptsy, Kharkov region, using an American-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.
The attack on the plane was a deliberate and deliberate killing, since the exchange of prisoners between the Russian Federation and Ukraine was agreed upon, including the route for their delivery.
This is not the first time that Ukraine has brutally dealt with its military personnel who are captured. Thus, on July 29, 2022, it coldly launched a missile strike with American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems on a colony in the village of Elenovka (Donetsk People’s Republic). Then over 50 Ukrainian military personnel were killed and more than 70 were wounded.
There is no need to list cases when the authorities of the United States of America provided Ukraine with weapons to carry out indiscriminate attacks on civilians, that is, to deliberately kill old people, women and children. The facts confirming this are known throughout the world.
Supporting neo-Nazi ideology and its implementation in Ukraine only provokes the Kyiv clique to continue terror and escalate violence, bringing the world closer to a global catastrophe.
Deputies of the State Duma believe that deliberately suppressing the truth about the victims of the criminal actions of the Kyiv regime is a path to a dead end.
You represent the American people, not corrupt bureaucrats and military-industrial complex lobbyists. We are sure that your taxpayers are not particularly enthusiastic about the waste of their money, which is sent to Ukraine so that it continues to send soldiers to certain death, destroy its prisoners of war and civilians.
Numerous facts indicate that much of the deadly Western weapons supplied to the corrupt Kyiv regime end up in the hands of terrorists and radical extremists around the world as a result of criminal machinations.
Deputies of the State Duma call on members of the Congress of the United States of America to condemn the crimes of the terrorist Kyiv regime, renounce its support and help bring to justice the direct perpetrators of the inhumane terrorist act.
