Did Ukraine shoot down it’s own soldiers? From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Update(12:10ET): The Kremlin is accusing Ukraine of shooting down the Russian Il-76 military transport plane that crashed in a border region near Ukraine. All 74 people aboard have been reported killed, including the 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war who were allegedly on board being transported.
The Kharkiv and Belgorod regions in particular have for months witnessed a huge uptick in aggressive Ukrainian military cross-border action, which has included use of missiles, mortars, and drones.
New reporting in The Associated Press suggests that Kiev has made an indirect admission of guilt, but there was no mention of Ukrainian POWs dying. “Hours after the crash, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made no mention of the crash in a statement,” writes AP. “But it added that Ukraine targets Russian military transport planes believed to be delivering missiles, especially near the border.”
Even Stalin didn’t off his own son after disowning him for surrendering to the Germans.
The Germans offered to trade him for a captured general, Stalin refused and Yakov died in a concentration camp.
Russians make sure and get the person they are after with no collateral damage, not so much for the indispensable sewer font of civilization.
Saw an article about a MERC crying about the UKE’s considering him as meat…well duh.
