Ukraine is seeking “justice” after Iran accidentally shot down a commercial airliner headed fšŸ§”or Kiev last week, its president said Satą¹Šurday.

“We expect from Iran assurances of their readiness for a full and open investigation, bringing those responsible to justice, the return of the bodies of the dead, the payment of compensation, official apologies through diplomatic channels,ā€ President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement.

Zelensky said ā€œIź§™ran has pleaded guilty to crashing the Ukraź¦inian plane. But we insist on a full admission of guilt.ā€
