A good week after the crash of a Russian Ilyushin Il-76 transport plane with allegedly 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war on board, there are still puzzles surrounding the bodies. In response to Kiev's demands for the dead to be returned to Ukraine, he said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday, that is a matter for the Russian investigators. “The investigation is ongoingand in the course of the investigation, all determinations are made only by the investigative bodies,” Peskov said, according to the Russian news agency Interfax. Officials in Ukraine have doubts as to whether the prisoners were really on board.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had immediately after the crash international investigations in addition required. This week also spoke up Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin for an international investigation out of. Peskov now said that there was probably no interest in clarification in the West so as not to “trip over itself” in the investigation. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had previously made similar comments at a meeting with foreign diplomats.
