Putin: Under No Circumstances Was Downed Plane Due To Friendly Fire

Putin: Under No Circumstances Was Downed Plane Due To Friendly Fire Instead of the 65 officers on board the IL-76, there should have been 190, and “knowing this, [the Ukrainian Armed Forces] attacked the plane,” the Russian President said, commenting for the first time on the incident. He also poured cold water on Kiev’s accusations that Moscow was responsible for the attack, stating that “our air defense systems, by definition, cannot strike their own aircraft. There are “friend or foe” systems there, and no matter how much the operator presses the button, our air defense systems would not work.” Subscribe to RT Источник: RT News
