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.

    Only their goal isn’t simply to destabilise everyone for the sake of it, believe it or not.

    And you most certainly can understand it if you try. I don’t agree with a lot of things that were done, but I certainly can at least vaguely see the rationale. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

    Your approach is very condescending and dehumanising. You must understand, that there are both sides to every conflict, and the other side has some reasons that seem moral to them. Ignoring that is counterproductive.
