The Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down an Il-76 aircraft over Belgorod.

The IL-76 military aircraft was transporting 65 Ukrainian POW for exchange with Russian POW, along with 6 crew members and 3 escorts.

The captured Ukrainian servicemen were being transported to the Belgorod region for exchange.

Another Il-76 carrying 80 Ukrainian prisoners of war turned back, said the head of the Duma Defense Committee Andrei Kartapolov.

“The Ukrainian leadership was well aware of the impending exchange and was informed of how the prisoners would be delivered,” he said during a speech in the State Duma

After the crash of the IL-76 in the Belgorod region, prisoner exchanges between the Russian Federation and Ukraine will apparently be put on pause.

It was really funny to see liberals before a narrative had been established.

The russians crashed the plane because obviously they're all drunk because of their Slavic genes but also glorious ukraine shot it down, oh shit there were Ukrainian pows on it uhh Russia shot it down on purpose to kill Ukrainian pows but also the plane was full of missles because it exploded when it crashed so the russians are lying to save face.

Or something

It has been quite fascinating to watch the speed at which their narrative changed, from first celebrating the shoot down only to then turn around and edit tweets and headlines to remove the evidence of their prior glee, to making up a bunch of conspiracy theories about either Russia having done it or Russia somehow purposely goading Ukraine into doing it:

You can tell that a lot of them misread the headline as "Russian POWs shot down" and got real smug about killing helpless men.

Pretty sure this many years of propaganda have entirely dehumanized Russians in their mind, they wouldn't even consider them men anymore.

Helpless men who they believe were dragged off the streets and shoved into a uniform with no choice
