"Knowing (the POWs were aboard), they attacked this plane. I don’t know whether they did it on purpose or by mistake, through thoughtlessness," Putin said of Ukraine at a meeting with students in St. Petersburg. He did not provide further details to support the allegation.
It wasn't until Friday that Russia provided the Ukrainian agency that deals with prisoner exchanges a list of the POWs Moscow said died in the crash.
