So sad

 


Ukraine helicopter crash kills interior minister, others


I would expect more of the same.

It wasn't an accident.

"Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, who oversaw the country's police and emergency services, is the most senior official killed since Russia invaded nearly 11 months ago. His death, along with the rest of his ministry's leadership and the entire helicopter crew, was the second major calamity in four days to befall Ukraine, after a Russian missile struck an apartment building in the southeastern city of Dnipro, killing dozens of civilians."


"There was no immediate word on whether the helicopter crash, which occurred on a foggy morning in the capital's eastern suburb of Brovary, was an accident or related to the war. Ukrainian authorities immediately opened an investigation. No fighting has been reported recently in the capital region."

(It's not really that hard to figure out whats up...)



"President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the crash had a broad connection to the war as he addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, by video link."

“This is not an accident because it has been due to war and the war has many dimensions, not just on the battlefields,” he said after asking the Davos audience to stand and join him in a minute of silence to honor those killed. “There are no accidents at wartime. These are all war results.”

(He already knows wats up before they even finish the investigation)

"Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said at least 14 people were killed, including nine aboard the helicopter, and a child on the ground. It said 25 people were injured, including 11 children. Early official reports gave differing numbers of casualties."

"Kyiv regional Gov. Oleksii Kuleba told Ukrainian television that emergency services were still identifying remains and that the death toll could rise."

"The Ukraine National Police said the crash killed five Interior Ministry officials, one national police official and three crew members on the helicopter."

"Zelenskyy, writing on Telegram, described the crash as “a terrible tragedy” on a “black morning.”"

(They are only just now really starting my friend :-(. )

“The pain is unspeakable,” he wrote. His wife, who was in Davos, earlier broke into tears upon learning of the crash.

(It's bout to get much worse...)
