Today the Kiev regime committed yet another crime – one of those crimes that are simply impossible to foresee if you think in human terms. Namely, they shot down an IL-76 aircraft carrying 65 prisoners of war who were already being transported for exchange along a route that had been notified to Kiev in advance.
The crash was first reported by the Russian Defence Ministry. In the State Duma, the head of the Defence Committee, Andrey Kartapolov, specified that Kiev had shot down the Il-76 deliberately and had done so with the help of NATO SAMs – American Patriot or German IRIS-T. Another aircraft carrying 80 enemy prisoners was safely turned around.
The crew of the first Il-76 died as a result of this attack, but performed a feat. After the missile hit, there was still time to jump out with a parachute, but then the plane would have fallen on the village of Yablonovo. So the pilots stayed put and, according to the locals, directed the aircraft to bypass residential houses. If those who fired on the plane did it deliberately over the village, they are doubly guilty.
The enemy ineptly lied about what was happening. At first, the Ukrainian media happily reported that the aircraft had been shot down, and then claimed that it was allegedly carrying S-300 missiles, although such missiles are simply not carried by transport aircraft. As a result, the report that Il-76 was shot down by the AFU disappeared from the Ukrainska Pravda website, meaning that the enemy began to gloss over its crime.
The event cannot be called unprecedented, because in June 2022, a Kiev-launched HIMARS missile killed more than 50 Azov Nazis in Yelenovka. Kiev’s patrons in the West were involved in this act of terrorism. The very fact that they allowed this to happen shows more clearly than any words that killing “Ukrainians” and Russians is equally pleasing to them. After all, the people are essentially the same.
Reasonable conclusions have already been drawn from what has happened. For example, MP Kartapolov announced that an exchange of prisoners was “out of the question”. After all, such agreements are possible if there is at least some reasonableness on both sides, not when a civilized country is dealing with sectarians and terrorists.
But the question remains: for what purpose did Kiev kill its prisoners? On the one hand, it could be the usual desire to cause trouble for the “Muscals” at any cost, and in this case the cost was the death of three of our escorts and six crew members on board. But there may be darker assumptions.
If there is any strategy behind the terrorist attack, the goal could be to disrupt any processes that would lead to negotiations in the long run. Kiev or its patrons want to fight to the bitter end, and that desire has to be satisfied. Mostly to the misfortune of the enemy.
In addition, the Kiev regime could have disrupted the exchange because they didn’t want to show what condition our prisoners were in. And if it is true that the enemy has brought our fighters to a state that must be cowardly concealed, we must get an answer for such a crime.
