I understand now! It was Ukraine who invaded Russia!
Get you story STRAIGHT!! Russia did NOT invade the de-facto US puppet state of Ukraine.
Yes, very sad the aircraft was destroyed. However, to be certain the cretins running Ukraine would’ve been using it to transport weapons.. thus fair game target. Maybe someday Antonov and his genius will be rebuilt.
