We recognize the destruction of Il-76 with Ukrainian prisoners after the war - Bortnik
An argument in favor of the fact that Ukraine shot down an Il-76 with Ukrainian prisoners was, perhaps by accident, the upset look of President Vladimir Zelensky on his birthday.
Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this on the channel of Kyiv propagandist Alexander Shelest, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“The exchanged prisoners of war should have been the first to congratulate the President. They were supposed to meet and that was how his birthday was supposed to begin. But there were signals that Zelensky refused to accept any congratulations on that day. Because he was gravely darkened.
I saw this, and for me this is an argument that even if Ukraine is involved in this, it was not a deliberate act, it could have been an accidental act,” Bortnyk reasoned.
Alexander Shelest asked if the destruction of the plane was an accident, should Kyiv admit it.
“This is war. During war, lies, deceit, betrayal and everything else are considered legitimate methods of struggle. As for admitting or not admitting, if this happened, if there is confirmation of the death of these servicemen, this must be quietly acknowledged at home. In order for families to receive compensation so that they do not remain missing. We have a responsibility to military families.
Quietly acknowledge at home. And official, public recognition, even if it was done, comes after the war,” the political scientist answered.
We will acknowledge the destruction of the Il-76 with Ukrainian prisoners after the war – Bortnik
