Actually they haven't admitted to shooting it down. It was more like:

"Sorry your plane crashed in Russian airspace."

"Sorry your plane had an, unfortunate accident. Let's be more careful from now or it would be a shame if you had any more, accidents."

Thing is, it didn't even crash in Russian airspace. It crashed over in Kazakhstan. It has a "~~malfunction~~" "unplanned traumatic experience" over Russian airspace.
