The Russian TASS news agency quoted Defence Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov:
“‘Russian anti-aircraft defence forces have shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane near Odessa which was delivering a large shipment of arms supplied to Ukraine by Western countries.”
Yaroslav Trofimov of the Wall Street Journal commented on Twitter immediately afterwards:
“Russia claims it downed a Ukrainian transport plane carrying weapons ‘in the Odessa region.’ There are no Ukrainian transport planes flying there, but there were some flying from Turkey to Poland.”

I don’t feel too stupid as it was quite obscure.
I could GAS about who it looks like.
It’s the title.
Maybe a GWB selfie?
I guessed a stylized Z because it would have been timely.
Depends on your position.
Oooh, don’t piss off the Turks!
I think that was probably True-dolt. Of course, he (or she, or it, we need to be ‘inclusive’ here) is interchangeable with Zelenskyy, both being Klaus (the Louse) Schwab’s poodles. Both remain in place via the WEF.
This doesn’t smell right.
Russia says they found western weapons, but I don’t think Russia is in control of the land around Odessa.
And they can’t say which country the plane belongs to. And no one is claiming it.
This sounds like fake news being sent as a warning to the US that cargo planes may be shot down.
Aside from the thread hijack with a watercolor of an Aussie, any thoughts on who’s plane was shot down?
Well, let me ask ita different way. Does that pic have anything to do with the topic of the thread, or are you just wasting my time?
(Not that my time is all that valuable.)
