The deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation express their extreme indignation at the inhuman policy of the Kiev regime, which in its impotent anger is using truly barbaric terrorist methods in an attempt to intimidate the civilians living in Russian border territories and to justify the failed actions of Ukrainian armed formations at the line of engagement.
More and more often we are witnessing indiscriminate rocket and artillery fire and attacks with the use of unmanned aerial systems by Ukrainian militants against Russian regional centers, other cities and populated areas.
As a result of these attacks, which directly violate the norms of international humanitarian law and the methods and means of warfare, civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, are killed, schools, hospitals and other critical civilian infrastructure are destroyed.
Another bloody crime of Ukrainian neo-Nazis was the indiscriminate deliberate shelling from multiple rocket launchers on January 21, 2024 of a market and adjacent stores in the Tekstilshchik microdistrict of the Kirovsky district of Donetsk, which took lives of 27 civilians. 25 other people, including two children, were injured.
State Duma deputies are deeply shocked by the cynicism of this criminal attack, as its victims were ordinary civilians who went shopping at the market on a Sunday afternoon. This terrible and senseless act of terrorism demonstrated the criminal nature of the Kiev regime, which spreads the ideology of hatred and intolerance and glorifies the Bandera death cult.
The deliberate attacks by Ukrainian armed formations against civilians, including the combined indiscriminate strike on December 30, 2023, against the city streets and sports facilities of Belgorod, put Kiev's executioners on a par with the organizers and perpetrators of the massacres at Khatyn in Belarus, Volynia in Poland where civilians were targeted by the Nazis and their henchmen.
The State Duma believes that the Western patrons of the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine are fully responsible for the crimes committed by their puppets, which, according to some political figures devoid of honor and morality, are nothing more than Kiev's right to self-defense. The provocative policy of the collective West encouraging Ukrainian leaders to carry out bloody strikes against Russian civilians will not go without our decisive response and will only add motivation to Russian soldiers to accomplish all the goals of the special military operation and permanently secure our borders, our country and our people from the Ukrainian terrorist threat. The criminal nature of the Kiev authorities and their deadly attacks against civilians confirm the complete lack of intractability of the Zelensky regime and its blatant unwillingness to resolve the conflict by political and diplomatic means.
State Duma deputies call on the United Nations, international parliamentary organizations, and the parliaments of the countries of the world to condemn the bloody atrocities of the Kiev authorities and to give a legal assessment of the continuing violations of the norms of international humanitarian law, mass war crimes against the world and security of humanity.
The State Duma expresses its full confidence that the instigators and perpetrators of terrorist acts in Russian cities will face imminent punishment, just like any other war criminals, and calls on all reasonable politicians to join forces to stop this insane bloodshed.
But today it is not enough to condemn neo-Nazi terrorists, although many Western politicians, who have adopted double standards as their credo, lack integrity and responsibility to do so. The agonizing Kiev regime is becoming more and more dangerous.
State Duma deputies are ready and call for constructive dialog and cooperation with all those who are interested in eradicating the terrorist threat and neo-Nazi ideas, who profess not in words but in deeds the principles of neighbourliness, mutually beneficial cooperation, and peaceful development.
