“why can’t NATO conduct an exercise from Ukrainian territory and secure the crash site?”
And do what, exactly??
Standing between two warring forces isn’t really a good idea, especially with a Bear that doesn’t trust you standing at your back.
The Russians are the ones that need to secure the sight, but the west doesn’t trust them, while the Ukrainians would scream bloody murder about the “Russian Invasion”
In a nutshell, no one trusts the US/NATO at this point, and no one trusts Russia. And to think, this is what a majority of Americans voted for...
In case you haven’t noticed, Russia has been invading for several months now.
Russians have the site, and have been busy removing and destroying evidence.
Help Ukraine secure the site that is on their territory.
Since your KGB guy isn’t invading Ukraine, why would he be a threat to an investigation of a passenger plane crash site in another nation?
I see only one warring force there right now -- the warring force that killed 298 people and it is in full control of that area.
