  The phrasing does not read like a solid confirmation to me: > This was the world’s largest aircraft, AN-225 ‘Mriya’ (‘Dream’ in Ukrainian). Russia may have destroyed our ‘Mriya’. But they will never be able to destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European state. We shall prevail! Sounds more like some inspirational message, using the rumors of plane's destruction.
