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.
Considering that this is what now, the fourth “misidentified” plane struck by a Russian missile? I think it’s less a case of misidentification and more a case of weapons testing.
And really shoddy equipment

The lengths people will go to avoid saying “shot down”.
The number four reactor at Chornobyl NPP ceased operating amid an unplanned disassembly of some of its critical systems.
“Officials say that the radiation release at chernobyl was not good, but not terrible”
👍 sallright
what does the UK have to do with this?? they’re not a global power like they think they are anymore
NATO member with nuclear strike capability who have a “special relationship” with daddy America.
Yeah they’re definitely weak
…and permanent member of the UN security council.
Perhaps not, but who knows about Putin’s values.
Russians used to respect the UK at least.
And, well, technically, Charles III is the had of the Commonwealth of Nations despite it being just symbolic. That’s a third of the population or the world.
It’s not like the US is going to do anything about it. So being a big international superpower basically doesn’t count for anything here.
Fairly sure was actually shut down on purpose. Russia is like that.
They don’t need a reason, they just need a missile, and they certainly have a missile.
It was a flight on the way to Russia with plenty of Russians on board. I doubt they take pleasure in shooting down their countrymen, if anything.
Probably mistook it for a military plane and didn’t bother to confirm, same as with MH17.
What do you mean “they don’t need a reason”? Are you insane?
I assume the qualifier “…that makes sense to anyone else” was implicit.
This person(and you, presumably) says that a civilian aircraft, belonging to a nation that Russia wants to keep in it’s sphere of influence and has no reason to offend was shot down on purpose, despite the fact that any such case is a cause for suspicion and apprehension just because they are evil, basically.
That is what they meant, I’m pretty sure, that there is no point trying to understand what Russia does, it just does stuff because they are evil, so every fact should be interpreted in a way that makes them the most evil.
In any case, why shouldn’t their motives make sense to anyone else? They are not aliens, are they?
Even Russians admit that Russia is an unpredictable entity that is only interested in causing chaos.
I recommend doing some research on it because you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, which is pathetic because it’s literally the easiest subject matter in the world to be informed on. Does Russia (Putin) do evil things? Yes, all the fucking time. See, violation of Human rights in Ukraine, not counting the invasion of Ukraine itself, the whole Salisbury thing, the use of desperate immigrants as a weapon, kidnapping children, hacking or otherwise manipulating other nations elections, sending their own people into a battlefield with absolutely no equipment, persecution of particular ethnic groups within their own country, assassination of political rivals.
In comparison China is a minor irritation and a copyright troll
