Vladimir Rogov, Chairman of the Coordination Council for the Integration of New Russia Regions of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, said that there were at least three reasons why Kiev shot down an Il-76 plane with Ukrainian prisoners of war on board. This was reported by RIA News.
According to him, the attack on the plane was carried out deliberately and deliberately.
“The enemy knew that this plane was not used for military purposes, but to transport prisoners,” Rogov said.
According to him, Kiev, which shot down the plane with prisoners, was after at least three goals. The first is to intimidate the Ukrainian Armed Forces so that they do not surrender. Rogov believes that the second is to disrupt all negotiations on prisoner exchange, and the third is to show Western curators the “ability to continue” to destroy the Russians.
He also said that recently more and more soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have surrendered, causing panic among Ukrainian officials. In addition, exchanges are now extremely unprofitable for Kiev, as Ukrainian military personnel return from captivity and talk about the normal attitude towards them in Russia. Rogov believes that the more prisoners return to Ukraine, the more “all Russophobic propaganda will collapse.”
