'Elenovka №2'. Afterword
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: Yelenovka is a reference to the Russian operated Ukrainian POW facility destroyed, along with 53 dead and another 75 wounded, by a Ukrainian fired HIMAR artillery rocket in July 2022. [ColonelCassad] 1. The plane was shot down by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces actually admitted this. A number of Ukrainian sources also confirmed this.  2. 74 people died on the plane - six crew members, three accompanying people and 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war. 3. Ukraine was, as usual, informed about the parameters of the exchange that was to take place in the afternoon. 4. The second plane, which was carrying another 80 people for exchange, turned around and flew to the departure airfield. 5. The shelling of the Il-76 was carried out from the territory of the Kharkov region. Traces of destructive elements have already been found on the wreckage of the car. The type of air defense system is still unknown, an investigation team is working. 6. Il-76 pilots accomplished a feat by turning the dying car away from residential areas. Must be nominated for state awards posthumously. 7. The murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war by the Armed Forces of Ukraine repeated the situation with the murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Yelenovskaya colony in 2022. 8. Ukrainian propaganda today has made a mess, confused in its testimony, tossed between joy and attempts to hide involvement in the crime committed. This was very clear today. 9. Future exchanges of prisoners of war will certainly be complicated by this war crime. 10.Ukraine must be recognized as a terrorist state. We need to start with the SBU and GUR MOU. More from regnum.ru Zelensky calls for an international investigation into the Il-76 crash The crash of an Il-76 military transport aircraft, shot down by the Ukrainian army over the Belgorod region, should be investigated at the international level. This statement was made on January 25 by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in a video message published on his Telegram channel. As the head of Ukraine clarified, he held an emergency meeting with the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) and the Ministry of Justice. The Ukrainian head explained that the Main Intelligence Directorate is investigating the fate of all prisoners. The Security Service of Ukraine is investigating all the circumstances of the plane crash. The head of the Kyiv regime also indicated that he instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform partners about all the data available to Kyiv. As the Head of Ukraine clarified, the plane crash occurred on Russian territory, outside the control zone of Kyiv, so the Ukrainian authorities will insist on an international investigation. Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that the United States of America called on Russia and Ukraine to conduct an investigation into the circumstances of the crash of the Il-76 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which was transporting Ukrainian prisoners of war. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on January 24, Ukrainian troops, using an anti-aircraft missile system, shot down an Il-76 plane flying from the Moscow region to Belgorod and carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war, three Russian officers and six crew members. They all died. The department emphasized that the prisoners were taken to the Ukrainian border for exchange and the Kyiv authorities knew about this. Later, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine confirmed that the exchange of prisoners of war scheduled for January 24 did not take place. The head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, commenting on what happened, accused the Ukrainian propaganda that covered the crash of a military transport plane of hypocrisy. Even more from regnum.ru Simonyan published a list of prisoners of war who died in the Il-76 crash RT TV channel editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan published a list of Ukrainian prisoners of war who died as a result of the crash of the Il-76 plane of the Russian Ministry of Defense on January 24. “A list of Ukrainian prisoners of war on board the crashed Il-76,” Simonyan wrote in her Telegram channel, attaching two photographs of a table with the names of prisoners of war to the message. There are 65 people on the list published by Simonyan. All are men aged 21 to 52 years. She later clarified that the Kyiv authorities approved the lists of Ukrainian prisoners of war she published three days ago. On Wednesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported the crash of an Il-76 aircraft flying from the Moscow region to Belgorod, on board which were 65 prisoners of war, three Russian officers and six crew members. They all died. According to the defense department, the plane was shot down by the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territory of the Kharkov region using an anti-aircraft missile system. Later, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense confirmed that an exchange of prisoners was being prepared between Ukraine and Russia on January 24, but it never took place. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, said that Ukrainian propaganda, covering the crash of a military transport plane, demonstrated hypocrisy, since the Ukrainian media, having learned about the incident, began to write that the Il-76 was shot down by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but after information appeared about those on board Ukrainian prisoners of war began to delete these messages.
