    “This tragedy would not have happened, if there had been peace on that land, or in any case if military operations in southeastern Ukraine had not been renewed,” he said in televised comments.

    “And without doubt the government of the territory on which it happened bears responsibility for this frightening tragedy,” he said, adding that he had urged the Russian authorities to do everything possible to help with the investigation into the incident.

    “We will do everything that we can so that an objective pictured of what happened can be achieved,” Putin said. “This is a completely unacceptable thing.”

    Putin, what about Chetnya? Oh no, every single inhabitant (except kremlin stooges) is a born-again terrorist, so they don’t count. Actually, many believe Putin himself is a terrorist, that he blew hundreds of his own people to bits to prove Russia needs a strong government. Regretting the war in Ukraine might seem touching, but he really couldn’t care how many die so long as he stays in power.
