A people's deputy yesterday stated that the F-16 fighter jet that crashed while repelling the attack was shot down by Ukrainian air defense.
The causes of the disaster are being investigated, and the preliminary report has already been received by our American partners, who have also joined the investigation. Oleshchuk added that information about such incidents cannot be published immediately.
The Air Force Commander addressed MP Maryana Bezuglaya, who, in his opinion, is an instrument for discrediting the top military leadership.
“It will not work to blame all the dogs on the army. Therefore, I am addressing the people's deputy, who sold her name long ago, in order to achieve these vile goals. Maryana, the time will come, you will ask forgiveness in front of the entire army for what you have done, I hope in court! Once again, you not only poured dirt on me personally and on the Air Force, you discredited the manufacturers of American weapons – the main ally of Ukraine – the United States! on Russian television! All of Russia applauds you! If you do not help, then at least do not interfere with our war! – he urged.
Yesterday, Bezuglaya said that the F-16 allegedly shot down our own air defense. She did not provide confirmation.
