The diplomat told the TASS news agency that the destruction of the IL-76 plane near Belgorod has joined the sad list of many other terrorist attacks that the Ukrainian Government and its Western supporters have committed over the past two years.

Those crimes include the undermining of the Crimean bridge and Nord Stream gas pipelines, the assassination of Dugina and Fomin (Tatarski), the attempted assassination of Prilepin, the savage bombings of Belgorod and Donetsk, and the atrocities of the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps.

“Of course, we will take every measure possible to bring those terrorists and their accomplices to justice,” the diplomat assured.

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov stated that the US leadership was interested in learning about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to open an international investigation into the crash of the Russian IL-76 aircraft carrying Ukrainian war prisoners.
