A UN helicopter was shot down in South Sudan, on Friday, killing all four Russians on board.
Secretary General Ban Ki Moon was quick to condemn the shooting of a clearly marked helicopter.
South Sudan claims that they thought they had shot down a Sudanese plane dropping weapons to the Yau Yau rebels.
The South regularly accuses Sudan of supplying the Yau Yau.
They have since apologized for shooting the helicopter, but state that the UN had told them they had nothing in the area, before they opened fire.
Russia has already warned they would abandon the mission, due to previous attacks upon UN helicopters.
After this incident they will most likely go through with their promise.
