Nach dem Absturz einer Passagiermaschine mit 38 Toten hat Kremlchef Putin mit dem aserbaidschanischen Präsidenten Aliyew telefoniert. Von einem Abschuss sprach er nicht, aber die russische Flugabwehr sei aktiv gewesen.
This article reports on Russian President Putin apologizing to Azerbaijan's president for a plane crash that killed 38 people in Kazakhstan. Though Putin didn't explicitly say the Russian air defense shot down the plane, he claimed Russian air defenses were active because Grozny was being attacked by Ukrainian drones.
The central conceptual idea is that Putin is attempting to distance Russia from blame for the plane crash while simultaneously suggesting the possibility of accidental harm during legitimate military operations.
