They are so serious about not being involved they had that statement written before the plane even crashed.

[jeffw.]

The Kremlin also denied any responsibility for the placement of all those windows so many people have been falling out of so recently.

Isn't it funny that anytime someone gets in the way of Putin, they just mysterious die in an accident or by poison. What are those odds. 😂

[georgesouthwick]

Did anyone really expect them to admit they did it?

[kevinstory]

A lesson that should have never been needed, if you go after a violent dictator you never pull your punch, you make the hit no matter what as your life literally depends on it.

[lysergic_visions]

That’s exactly what someone who had him killed him would say… 😂

"Whoops, we were just walking our dog by the airport, and tripped and accidentally fired a shoulder-mounted stinger."

[matthewknauf]

well if the Kremlin said so it must be true, I mean would they lie? In fact, I love how honest they are with the sub standard safety cods they have in place in planes, and windows, It takes a lot of courage for a government to admit how their country is falling apart around them.

Sure, just like Mayorkas statement that the southern border is closed, and Joe's statement that he knew nothing about Hunter's business dealings. One of the first questions my dad would ask me when I would see him was always HOW'S WORK/BUSINESS GOING.

"We totally didn't do it, guys, we promise."

- The Kremlin, the shining beacon of truth in the world 🤣

[shelleyking]

Sure. The plane just unfortunately fell out of window, happens all the time.

[bisbeenews]

It was a "special mechanical failure."

[arikristenko]

As a man who was born in Moscow, I would say that sometimes it felt like there were no rules in Russia. This is what happens when president doesn't like somebody. They put Navalny in the craziest jail for 19 years. Before this he was poisoned and almost dead. This country and people are the best but not the Russian government. It was my reason why I made the decision to leave and moved to the US.

[jimc]

They know the world knows it was murder but all they have to say is we didn't do it and life goes on.

[michaellewis]

This was not expected? The world knew this was going to happen! I'm surprised it took this long.

[DANMAN]

Welp, that settles that. For a second there, I thought they had something to do with it, but they said they I feel like an idiot 🤷

[stevebaker]

They either really did kill him or they were like”you gotta fake your death”

[SolracNexus]

Dude, it's the only commercial plane crash since 2021 and one of putin's targets "happens" to be in that plane...

[barrymauger]

Got to be obvious to everyone on the planet by now. Every time this happens who does it benefit?

[HubertDinklebean]

I didnt think he would last this long.
