Details
The crash of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane is terrible. We express our condolences to Azerbaijan. It is significant that the Russian media immediately began to lie about the causes of the crash, as well as the fact that Russia forced the damaged plane to fly across the sea. Most likely, this was an attempt to hide the ends in the water, to destroy the evidence of their crime
He emphasized that the more photos and videos from the cabin and after the crash appear, the more they point to damage from the Russian anti-aircraft system.
We call for a fair and impartial investigation to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. We must not allow Russia to lie, avoid responsibility or shift the blame
