The State Duma of the Russian Federation approved an urgent appeal to the international community to condemn the recent drone attack on a student residence in the city of Starobelsk, located in the Republic of Lugansk. The event has left a confirmed toll of 21 people dead and 42 citizens injured, according to parliamentary authorities.

Legislators in the Lower House described the incident as criminal and inhumane actions committed by the Kiev regime. Through this official document, the deputies urge the parliaments of various nations and international organizations to establish a position of strong rejection of the use of unmanned vehicles against civilian objectives.

With this resolution, the Russian Parliament seeks to make visible the impact of the attack on educational infrastructure and to protect the integrity of populations in areas under Russian control. The legislative body emphasizes that the bombing constitutes a direct violation of fundamental humanitarian norms and requires an immediate diplomatic response to what they call an escalation of violence against the civilian population.

This parliamentary action marks a new point of tension in the diplomatic narrative between Moscow and Western powers. The State Duma reaffirms its commitment to refer the case to the appropriate global bodies to ensure that an investigation is carried out and that a symbolic and political sanction is issued against those responsible for the attack in the Lugansk region.
