Sure, Russians shooting/executing surrendered Ukrainian POW's is just the same as Ukraine shooting a Russian plane down because Ukraine was TRYING to kill its own Ukrainian prisoners. Or was it that the Russians ONLY gave 15 minutes of warning on the plane?

You say that with such certainty, so can I ask you? Were there any photos or video of the bodies? I never saw or heard of any other than the air crew and maybe one or two others.

If Putin was trying to embarrass Ukraine, instead of covering up losing another airplane to the enemy or to friendly fire, as this seems to be, then why didn’t they show the dead bodies of all those POWs? There would have been a lot of bodies to recover, so why didn’t that news filter through to those who want to know and to those whose job it is to know?

And, please pardon my fog of war skepticism, but how often does Russia use aircraft to transport prisoners for exchange? Is that a common thing for them to do?

I doubt it. Seems like a waste of resources and more likely that aircraft was being used to haul something else as usual and not Ukrainian POWs for exchange.

Just curious about what really happened, you know? And you sound so sure about this story as being fact in your post that you seem like the expert to ask.
