Russian President Vladimir Putin apologizes to Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, for what the Kremlin said was a “tragic incident” in Russian airspace involving the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan on December 25.
Putin tells Aliyev that Russian air defense was active when an Azerbaijani Airlines plane tried to land in Grozny before it crashed in a phone call, the Kremlin says.
“During this time, Grozny, (the town of) Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were being attacked by Ukrainian combat drones and Russian air defense was repelling these attacks,” the Kremlin says Putin told Aliyev, without explicitly acknowledging that that Russian air defenses hit the plane.

Flashback:
Russia blames birds for Azerbaijan Airlines crash; evidence points to Russian missile
Did he apologize for the Teenage coverup after the accident?
He didn’t apologize for denying emergency landing permission in Russia.
He also didn’t apologize for jamming the plane’s GPS systems in an attempt to get it to crash into the Caspian sea.
War is hell and I know Zelensky is ready to apologize for sending those drones to Grozny in the first place right...
And still Putin is a better president than Joe Biden by a country mile.
Obvious from the beginning these aren’t bird hits

Putin’s Chechens can’t tell the difference between a drone and a commercial airliner?
In his defense, they were trying to cover it up
Both Putin and Biden are crappy presidents. Thank God President Trump will be back in 3 weeks to clean up their messes.
Putin would still be blaming a flock of birds if Russia had been successful with their GPS jamming and the plane crashed into the Caspian Sea instead of Kazakhstan.
Biden takes crappy to another level. Maybe Craptasitc or Crapalistic. I can’t say I could include Biden in any comparison. Completely absent, he’s the worst there could ever be.
It’s impossible to get any worse because he’s completely abdicated his responsibilities to others.
“before it crashed in a phone call”
Weekend shift at TOI.
I think that marcus’ Special Russia Sock is getting full over this one...
Indeed. Say what one will against Putin, but at least he loves his country and remembers that its his job to protect and defend it. You wouldn’t see him allowing millions of illegals to invade his country or appoint cross dressing loons and sexual deviants to government offices.
Poor writing by the author. The plane didn’t crash. It was shot down.
Russia does have an immigration problem, including millions of illegals.
"In the Persian Gulf, the U.S. Navy cruiser Vincennes shoots down an Iranian passenger jet that it mistakes for a hostile Iranian fighter aircraft. Two missiles were fired from the American warship—the aircraft was hit, and all 290 people aboard were killed."
