Vladimir Putin apologised for the fact that the incident involving the Azerbaijani passenger airliner that crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau happened in Russian airspace, offered condolences to the victims’ families and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. An investigation is ongoing to determine what kind of external impact caused a crash landing hundreds of kilometers from Grozny where Ukrainian drones had been spotted and countered by Russian air defense. Western media have been pointing the finger at Russia, they always do, but till the investigation is not over it is dishonest to apportion blame. @LauraRuHK
