YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA Russian military transport plane carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war on their way for a prisoner exchange has crashed over Russia's Belgorod region, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said.
According to the TASS state news agency, there were also six Russian crew members and three escorts on board the Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft. It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, which occurred around 11 a.m. Moscow time (0800 UTC). The governor of Russia's Belgorod region said everyone onboard the military transport plane had died in the crash. A special military commission was on the way to the crash site near the border with Ukraine, the ministry said. Ukrainian media initially cited military sources as saying that Ukrainian forces downed the plane and that it was transporting missiles, but later corrected their reports, saying the information was unconfirmed. Mykhailo Podolyak, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, told Reuters news agency that "Comments will come a little later. Time is needed to
clarify all the data."
The Kremlin said in response to a reporter's question that it was looking into the situation. The Belgorod region has come under frequent attack from Ukraine in recent months.
