Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy, said the plane was shot down by “friendly fire” from Russian air defenses while defending against incoming Ukrainian drones.
Offtop and that’s old news but I still find it a little hillarious that there is a Ukrainian version of Russian Business Consulting, that then parted and the Ukrainian one is still on the surface, while the head RBC, initially pretty based, got undiscernible from every other complicit shit rag servicing ru government. Human history loves taking weird turns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBC-Ukraine
You are welcome. Being russian I refered to russian RBC as an edition that talks purely about money for wealthy guys in commercial sector, and thanks to that it could be free from the pressure of the government for a long time, you know, talking directly of what losses and gains a clever capitalists can gain under any regime. But a couple of years before the 2024 invasion they started to retranslate obvious lies from our government-aligned medias. I don’t know what the situation is with the ukrainian edition, that’s to ask ukrainians about, but I haven’t noticed anything unhinged in uki-side reposts there and on reddit.
