Trump commented on the situation with the downed Il-20

The US President commented on the incident with the downed Russian Il-20 in Syria.

The President of the United States of America Donald Trump, despite the cold relations with Russia, expressed regret over the destruction of the Russian Il-20 electronic reconnaissance aircraft, which was shot down on September 17, 2018 by the Syrian air defense system.

“Based on the study of the facts, we can conclude that Syria shot down a Russian plane. I understand that at least 14 people died, and this is very sad ... this is not a very good situation. ", - said the American leader.

It should be clarified that, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the main circumstance that caused the destruction of the aircraft with 15 on board was the strike by the Israeli air force that covered the Russian aircraft, therefore, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to take appropriate measures.

In turn, the Israeli side completely refutes its involvement in this incident, noting that the Russian plane was shot down by a Syrian missile, and the Russian side was warned in advance of an air strike on the western part of Syria, but did not take any measures.
