The State Duma wants to hold NATO accountable for the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999
The State Duma adopted an appeal to the UN calling on it to condemn the operation against Yugoslavia in 1999 and take measures to hold NATO accountable. The draft appeal of the chambers of the Federal Assembly was adopted not only to the UN, but also to international parliamentary organizations and parliaments of foreign states in connection with the 25th anniversary of the start of the bombing of the territory of sovereign Yugoslavia by the North Atlantic Alliance coalition.
The head of the Duma Committee on International Affairs, leader of the LDPR, Leonid Slutsky, told reporters about the appeal.
The Committee on International Affairs submitted a draft address to the chambers of the Federal Assembly in connection with the 25th anniversary of the start of the NATO coalition's bombing of the territory of sovereign Yugoslavia. We propose to submit it for consideration by the State Duma on March 20, synchronously with the Federation Council
- he explained.
In the text of the draft appeal, the Russian parliament calls on the UN and the parliaments of the world to finally condemn the military operation of the North Atlantic Alliance against Yugoslavia and take measures to bring NATO member states to international responsibility for direct aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Slutsky said.
Russian deputies consider it necessary, on the eve of the anniversary of NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, to give a fair assessment of “this gross violation of international law.” Also, parliamentarians “express deep concern at the ongoing attempts of the collective West to present to the international community an act of aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as a peacekeeping operation.”
Meanwhile, unrecognized Kosovo for the first time agreed to provide military assistance to Kyiv. It consists of ammunition for mortars, trucks and armored vehicles. Medicine with trucks, tactical and armored vehicles will be delivered to Ukraine next week.
