Kyiv • UNN
The DIU said that russia's statement about its readiness to return the bodies from the downed IL-76 aircraft is nothing new, as Ukraine demanded an international investigation into the incident, but russia refused.
Commenting on russia's statement about its alleged readiness to hand over the "bodies of the dead" Ukrainian military as a result of the downing of the IL-76, the representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Andriy Yusov said that there was nothing new in these words. He said this on the air of a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN.
Details
It's clear that Moskalkova's words yesterday stirred up the media and this is a sensitive topic, but there was nothing new in those words. Except for the wording that Moscow seems to be ready for something. Since the plane crash, Ukraine has been conducting its own investigation and has requested an international investigation, which russia has refused
According to him, different versions are being tested.
If people died on board, there were requests for the return of the bodies. The wording that Moscow is ready to hand over is quite strange. When there is a transfer, not a statement of readiness, and all the necessary examination, study of the number, circumstances and other important points are carried out, then it will be possible to comment on something
