President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky insists on Iran's full admission of guilt in the crash of the Ukrainian plane in Tehran. He called on the Iranian authorities to provide full access to Ukrainian experts to investigate the crash. Zelensky wrote this on Facebook on January 11 after Iran recognized that it had accidentally shot down the Ukrainian airlines plane. “The morning today was not good, but brought the truth. Since before the end of the international commissionwork, Iran admitted that it had shot down a Ukrainian plane. But we insist on full guilt admission. We expect from Iran assurances of readiness for a full and open investigation, bringing the perpetrators to justice, bodies of the dead returning, compensation payment and official apology statements through diplomatic channels,” Zelensky said. Recall that on January 11, the Iranian authorities admitted that they mistakenly shot down the Ukrainian plane flowing over an important military object. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called it an “unforgivable mistake” and promised to punish those responsible. On January 8, the Ukrainian airline plane carrying theTehran-Kiev 752 flight crashed near Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran almost immediately after takeoff. No one survived the fall. 11 citizens of Ukraine (2 passengers and 9 crew members), citizens of Canada, Iran, Germany, Sweden, Afghanistan and the UK were on board. It is known that 57 Canadian citizens were killed in a Boeing 737 plane crash in Iran, but not 63, as originally reported. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country Francois-Philippe Champagne.
