Russia shows no willingness to return bodies of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POW) allegedly killed in an Il-76 plane crash on Jan. 24, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) spokesperson Andrii Yusov said in a comment to Suspilne, published on Jan. 30.

    There aren’t any bodies. The Russian “evidence” is very clearly faked post-hoc.

      Or these people were murdered and they used the opportunity to target disinformation at Ukraine. It seems plausible. Fascists encourage cruelty, which tends to result in increased deaths, and Russia uses every opportunity to lie and obfuscate reality so they can point back to poorly written articles decades later and claim “both sides.”

      I really wouldn’t be surprised if Putin had them shot soon after the plane was downed as a form of retaliation.
