The IL-76 cargo jet was transporting 65 Ukrainian POWs when Kiev’s forces shot it down, Moscow says.
Russia requested an emergency session of the UN Security Council to discuss the shooting down of a military plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a press conference in New York on Wednesday afternoon, hours after the incident.
The IL-76 cargo plane crashed in Belgorod Region on Wednesday morning, claiming the lives of 65 Ukrainian POWs, as well as six crew members and three Russian soldiers, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The prisoners were being transported to Belgorod, a city near the Ukrainian border, to be exchanged for captured Russian troops.
The ministry accused Ukrainian forces of shooting the plane down with air-defense missiles. “By committing this terrorist act, the Ukrainian leadership showed its true face, disregarding the lives of its citizens,” the ministry said.
Speaking to reporters at UN headquarters, Lavrov said that he had urged the Security Council’s French chairmanship to grant the meeting without delay.
”We do not want to repeat the situation of April 2022 after the staging of Bucha,” he added, referring to the supposed massacre of Ukrainians by Russian forces, which Moscow insists was staged by Kiev to draw international support. At the time, the British chairmanship of the Security Council refused Russia’s request for an emergency sitting for 72 hours.
The General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces said that military transport aircraft approaching Belgorod often carry weapons, and that Ukrainian forces “take measures to destroy delivery means and control the airspace to eliminate the terrorist threat.” However, the military command did not explicitly accept responsibility for shooting down the IL-76.
Ukrainskaya Pravda, a Ukrainian newspaper, initially reported that the plane had indeed been downed by the country’s military, but edited its article on the incident shortly afterwards to remove this information.
The newspaper celebrated the downing as a success for the country’s “victorious armed forces,” Lavrov told the press conference. However, once it became known that the plane was carrying POWs, “the Ukrainian propaganda started to sweep it under the carpet…and find other explanations.”
Moscow is still working to ascertain Kiev’s motives, he said.
The crew of the downed Il-76 managed to divert the falling plane from residential buildings

This is interesting too

Abbott has got a history of duplicity but will be interesting to see how this eventuates
See Alex Jone’s interview with Michael Yee from 2-3 days ago regarding the Chinese Transient Camps along the Pan-American Highway, and the J***** NGO that is assisting with the invasion of America.
The Zionist goal on a Global basis; kill ALLLL White People ASAP, so that the ‘Chosen Race’ can then employ dark-skinned ill-educated Goy in slavery, as the lower IQ of those masses going north to the U.S. Border is reflective in their simple minded linear thinking.
Whitey is armed, ammo’s up, and now quietly yet highly organized!
Yee mentions Abbott with regards to his many trips to Israel, and his kowtowing to Zionist Organizations.
We shall await the outcome of Abbott’s Declaration, as well as the outcome of the ICJ on Friday!
The fake news media will say Russia shot down it’s own plane lol, just like they blew up their own gas pipeline
If the plane was filled with Ukrainian POW’s being returned to the Ukraine in a prisoner swap, how many on the plane were J*****?
Probably…none!
THAT would explain why Zelensky & Co. shot it down-killing off as many Gentiles, Goyim, and non-J3w$ as possible as per the Talmud-even IF they are your ‘Fellow Countrymen’.
This could be a Battleship Potemkin Moment, but an aviation version of the same.
Sergei Lavrov : measured, consise and polite. Further an erudit
What a contrast with ukraine’ and western ” diplomats”
