It's Russian Su-27. Text is in Russian language on the plane. Ukrainian army uses Ukrainian language only for 20+ years.

all text is in russian on that plane, in fact, you can see the same text on that picture (top right corner) and the picture from the tweet.

Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian use the Cyrillic alphabet and I don't trust a random burner twitter account making that claim.

Rob Lee, who has been independently reporting about Ukraine since 2014, is fairly credible and does not appear to stand to gain anything from accusations that he is pro-Russian

Ukrainians use Ukrainian alphabet and Ukrainian language. Russians are using Russian alphabet and Russian language. WTF?
