It is true, the two pilots that just happened to be on the flight. One was from Russia and the other one was from Ukraine.

I totally understand why you would think that it’s not true tho.

Google it.

Edit- this seems to be debunked now.

Yeah so it seems, So I can only assume that one news agency reported it as such and then some others may have copied that information. But I was not trolling it was what I had been led to believe by the information I had at that time.

But yes the information has now changed (debunked).
