Ukrainian security forces threatened to shoot down a civilian aircraft

The Ukrainian military, under the threat of destruction, forced the plane to sit on the Donbass.

On the morning of June 16, 2018, a light-engine Kh-32 "Bekas" aircraft was seen in the sky over the Donetsk region, which was carrying out an unauthorized flight, in fact, being in the zone of military contact between the Ukrainian security forces and military formations of the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR. Due to the fact that the flight of the aircraft could be dangerous, the Ukrainian military forced the pilots to land the aircraft just a few kilometers from the contact line.

It is known that two Ukrainian citizens were flying aboard the X-32 "Bekas" aircraft, which carried out the flight without the appropriate permission of the authorities of the country.

Informal sources report that the light-engine aircraft was in the air for about an hour, and only about 6 hours 30 minutes of the morning was detected by air defense means. The pilots were warned that if they refused to land immediately, the plane would be destroyed, and therefore they had to obey the order of the military.

Immediately after landing, the citizens of Ukraine on board the aircraft were detained and handed over to police officers. Their current fate remains unknown, but they will surely be prosecuted, most likely criminal.
