Why?
Putin's propaganda is that the invasion of Ukraine is to denazify Ukraine. Basically any of his violent action is justified by calling his enemies Nazis and referring to the Soviet war against Nazi Germany (same as when the USA call others terrorists). So if he shot the plane, it's because it had Nazis. Top comment may support this way of thinking.
No that's Biden's propaganda. Putin only mentioned it along with a laundry list of reasons. But besides, Ukraine's ultranationalism is heavily based on Nazism.
