Topic starter, please update your knowledge of geography and aviation in that region.
"Russian helicopter shoot down" (in Ukraine) is incorrect and sounds provocative. Mi-24 that are used in Ukraine is a heritage of Soviet Union. Meaning that manufacturing of various components of all aircraft at that time was distributed across many republics of SU (including Ukraine itself).
Thus it is an "old Soviet helicopter shoot down in Ukraine" (by Ukrainians).
