[quote=Anonymous]The Russian version does not add up. The Ilyushin Il-76  is a workhorse plane of the Russian and Ukrainian militaries, known for carrying heavy cargos: tanks, trucks, weapons, and equipment not POWs.

I believe Ukraine that Russian officials withheld information about exchanging prisoners, and that Moscow had willfully endangered prisoners’ lives.

There are no signs that there were so many people on the Il-76 plane - if there were really seven or eight dozen people there, the field would be strewn with more remains of bodies.

The list of purported Ukrainian POWs on the Il-76, was published not long after news of the crash by Margarita Simonyan, the longtime propaganda talking head in chief.
Several names on the list matched Ukrainian soldiers who had been released in earlier prisoner exchanges.

It is much more likely that the Ilyushin was carrying S-300 air defense missiles.

Why had high-ranking Russian officials planned to travel on the jet but Russia’s main intelligence agency, the Federal Security Service (FSB), barred them from boarding?

Russia launched into UN security counsel spin mode very quickly.

Russians were most likely seeking to undermine Ukrainian morale from successes in their counter offensive - they have bombed their own villages in the last to stir up anti Ukrainian fury.

If Russia manages to convince enough people that Ukraine shot down the Russian cargo jet, and mistakenly killed dozens of Ukrainian POWs, it would undermine Ukrainian morale and international support. This is the kind of thing Putin’s Russia does.
