At night on 22 May 2026, the Kiev neo-Nazi regime ruthlessly attacked the dormitory and the education building of a pedagogical college in Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic. The barbaric terrorist attack involved targeted use of combat drones, which killed 21 students, most of whom were young women.
“The Members of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation are certain that Zelensky’s neo-Nazi regime, in its attempt to hold onto power as it suffers defeat after defeat on the battlefield, is trying to distract Ukrainian citizens and the global community from the major corruption scandal involving Zelensky’s entourage by deliberately carrying out numerous terrorist attacks against civilians,” says the text of the appeal.
The members of the State Duma call upon all of our sensible colleagues in parliaments across the world and international parliamentary organisations “unwilling to remain silent witnesses to such blatant display of cruelty by the Kiev regime to decisively condemn the crimes of the Kiev junta”.
They also call upon everyone “to demand immediate end of all military, material and financial support to Zelensky’s illegitimate regime that turns colleges, homes and hospitals into targets for terror”.
“The perpetrators and accomplices to crimes against humanity and those instigating them shall be brought to justice and ultimately suffer proper punishment,” notes the document.
According to the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin

Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast) , the response to such actions by those who use missiles and drones to attack children, elderly people and women should be harsh.
“On our part, we should call maximally upon all the parliamentarians in the European states who have a shred of conscience to stop helping terrorists. We should do everything possible to hold accountable those people who made orders and used drones to attack the college,” he added.
