On Saturday (Saturday), Iranian authorities issued a dramatic statement stating that they are responsible for dropping the Ukrainian plane this week, shortly after take-off from Tehran. This, they say, is due to human error.
The president of ukraine airlines, Yevgeny Dihana, addressed Iranian advertising earlier this morning, saying: "We never doubted our crews and knew they had nothing to do with the plane crash and the horrendous death of passengers. They were the best of us and our daughters. "
At a press conference held at lunchtime with the Vice President, the two referred to the fact that the Iranians were responsible for dropping the plane: "Tehran airport was completely open without any warning, everything worked well and in full operation. Iran should bear full responsibility."

The two added: "If there was an alert, they should have closed the airport and not allowed civilian aircraft to take off. We will no longer fly over Iran anymore, we have changed all our routes."
The Ukrainian airline claims that they have information that there were talks between the aircraft crew and the control personnel at the airport. According to reports, there were no warnings or warnings before take-off and the Ukrainian aircraft was delayed in take-off following the pilot's decision to reduce the amount of baggage, due to the excess weight he had.
