“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,” RIA Novosti quotes the statement.
Previously, an examination confirmed that the Il-76 was shot down by a Western missile.
Also, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow insists on an international investigation into the Il-76 crash.
On January 24, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukrainian troops hit a Russian Il-76 military transport plane with captured Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel over the Belgorod region using an anti-aircraft missile system.
On board were six crew members, 65 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the exchange and three Russian military personnel accompanying them. They all died.
