Doesn't offer anything more than that, though.

"Sorry we shot down an innocent plane, we were busy fighting a war we never should have started and refuse to end"

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

"Sorry your plane crashed in Russian airspace."

That's way more on-brand for Putin
