In a video shared on the internet, the captain can be heard saying:
“Welcome to Antalya, and thank you for flying with Pobeda. I speak for myself and not for the company. I think the war in Ukraine is a crime. I also believe that every reasonable citizen will agree with me and will do everything to stop it.”
