Summary

The UK has rejected Vladimir Putin’s apology over the Azerbaijan Airlines crash, which killed 38 people and injured 29, and called for a “full and independent” investigation.

The UK Foreign Office criticized Putin’s apology, stating it “fails to recognise that the reckless and irresponsible actions of the Russian State pose an acute and direct threat to the interests and national security of other states.”

The plane, en route from Baku to Grozny, crashed in Kazakhstan amid Russian air defense activity.

Evidence suggests it may have been misidentified and struck by a Russian missile.

    Even MI6 say they believe that it was a deliberate attack.

    Weston is like to think that Russia can be in some way understood on our level but it’s just not the case.

    You can try and discredit that by calling it “evil” and ll using infantilizing language but the fact remains they are just like that, they are chaotic simply to destabilize everyone else. They don’t really have an ulterior motive other than destabilization the chaos that they cause is the objective it isn’t in aid of anything.
