Zelenskyy Blames Russia for Azerbaijani Plane Crash, Draws MH17 Parallels
President Zelenskyy asserted that mounting evidence implicates Russia in the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in Kazakhstan, drawing parallels to the 2014 downing of MH17 by a Russian missile. He offered condolences to Azerbaijan and warned that Russia’s potential disinformation campaign necessitates unified international pressure to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable. The December 25th crash killed 38, with Azerbaijani officials citing evidence of external interference, including perforations in the aircraft’s fuselage. Zelenskyy’s statement highlights the growing suspicion surrounding Russia’s involvement in the tragedy.
