It is reported that the "transport plane falling" incident in Russia on the 24th sparked heated discussions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, an Il-76 transport plane of the Russian army crashed in Belgorod Oblast on the same day. The incident sparked a huge controversy, more because the plane was not an ordinary cargo, but "more than 70 lives". The Russian side claims that the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down 65 of their prisoners of war, who died along with the crew. However, Ukraine resolutely refused to admit it at first, and the Ukrainian side justified that this was just a first-class combat method of the Russian army.
The news mentioned that the Ukrainian side said that the plane was delivering missiles at that time, and the Ukrainian army decisively shot it down. Subsequently, the two countries engaged in multiple rounds of confrontations, revolving around the question of "what is on the plane"; Russia is even more incessant, resorting to European and American countries about this matter, and Ukraine has repeatedly claimed that they are sure that Russia must not transport prisoners, because whether it is the number of prisoners of war escort or the route, the Ukrainian side has not received a notice from Russia, and the number of escorts is not the same number at all. At the point when both sides are holding their own words, a "strange statement" by Ukrainian ** Zelensky has attracted attention.
Ukraine** Zelensky responded to the incident on the evening of the 24th local time, and he condemned Russia for "playing with the lives of Ukrainian prisoners of war". In his speech, Zelensky called for an international investigation into the causes of the plane crash. "We need to be clear about all the facts. (do this) as much as you can". Zelensky also issued a "disclaimer" saying that Russia must be held accountable regardless of the outcome. He said. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine issued a "cautiously worded" statement, saying that they did not know much about the matter, but that in the future they will definitely continue to attack the Russian army, as always.
Analysts say the matter is still waiting for more strong evidence. But Zelensky was the first to lose his breath, according to their previous statements, this matter did not involve any prisoners of war at all, it was related to Russia's "transportation **", and now they blame Russia for "mistreating prisoners of war", which is inconsistent. The second is that the position of the United States is very vague, and the United States will stand up and be the first to "refute rumors" for Ukraine in this kind of thing, using their intelligence agencies to accuse Russia of lying; But this time, after the Russian side submitted the statement to the United States, the United States publicly stated that they "do not grasp the facts", so people suspect that there is something wrong with it.
It is also worth mentioning that if it is believed that the actions of the Ukrainian side shot down the prisoners of war, Russia accuses them of "intentionality". Previously, the Russian side had informed Ukraine of the time and route of their prisoner exchange, and the transport plane was still shot down. Therefore, Russia believes that this is a conspiracy and pushes the responsibility to the Russian side. International observers said: "Once it is confirmed that the plane was shot down by American-made Patriot or German-made IRIS-T anti-aircraft missiles, and see in whose hands these ** are, then the truth of the matter will be obvious; It is not difficult to see from the silence of the West that it is unusual for them not to help Ukraine. ”
