President Volodymyr Zelensky will address the Ukrainian people on Saturday, January 11, due to the situation with the downing of a Ukraine International Airlines passenger jet near Tehran, the Office of the President of Ukraine has reported on Facebook.
"The video address will be made after consultations of the head of state with a group of Ukrainian experts working at the site of the tragedy in Iran, international partners and a phone call with President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hassan Rouhani, which is scheduled for 17:00 on Saturday," the statement said.

On January 11, Iran admitted that its military had accidentally shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet.

In this regard, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter that the crash had been caused by a "human error."
