The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack on the IL-76 plane, which was carrying captured Ukrainian military personnel, is a demonstrative disruption of the exchange of prisoners of war. This was stated by the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin. He recalled that for such a provocation, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had already shot down a plane in 2014 – then the Malaysian Boeing flight MH17 crashed.
“It is well known that the Ukrainian regime does not value its soldiers—hundreds and thousands of them are thrown to the front line, sometimes simply into a “meat grinder.” <…> We remember: in order to blame the Donetsk militia and Russia, they shot down a Malaysian Boeing in the summer of 2014,” the head of the DPR told RIA Novosti. He also noted that the attack on a plane with its own fighters shows that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky needs confrontation with Russia.
The head of the DPR emphasized that Kyiv is ready to undertake any provocations in order to increase the degree of conflict with Russia. He clarified that this attack is another case when the Ukrainian Armed Forces resort to a similar technique to achieve their goals.
As a result of the terrorist attack on January 24, the plane crashed. All passengers, crew members and accompanying persons were killed. Information about what is known about the crash of IL-76 is in material agencies.
