He recalled Vladimir Zelensky’s demand to conduct an international investigation.
“Where is this international investigation now? We are conducting our own investigation, but we do not close ourselves off in our actions from those who want to find out the truth,” the minister said.
According to Lavrov, Russia is looking into what weapons the Ukrainian Armed Forces used to shoot down the Il-76.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted, the Russian Il-76 aircraft was hit in the Belgorod region by either the French air defense system or the American Patriot complex.
The missiles that shot down the plane with captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were launched from Ukrainian territory, the president emphasized. The Investigative Committee claims that the anti-aircraft missile weapons were located in the village of Liptsy, Kharkov region.
