The downing of a Russian military transport plane, an Il-76, has led to a heated international dispute, with Ukraine demanding a transparent international investigation into the incident and refuting Russian claims that the plane was carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs, who were allegedly killed. Ukraine's parliamentary human rights ombudsman has found no confirmation of these Russian allegations. A senior Russian lawmaker claimed that Ukraine's military intelligence was given a 15-minute warning before the plane entered the area where it was shot down. Fragments of a missile were found at the crash site in Russia's Belgorod region, according to TASS. Ukraine's military intelligence suggests that political and military VIPs were barred from boarding the plane by the FSB at the last moment, and only five bodies have been delivered to the local morgue. Russia has opened a terrorism case, alleging the plane was hit by a missile from Ukraine, while Ukraine's Security Service has launched an investigation under an article on violations of the laws and customs of war. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting, but the UN is not in a position to verify the circumstances of the crash. Meanwhile, President Putin has accused Ukraine of shooting down the plane with either a US-made or French missile, a claim Ukraine disputes, and Russia accuses Kyiv of a premeditated crime. The total number of people killed in the crash is reported to be 74, including the crew and POWs.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that a Russian military plane that crashed near the border with Ukraine was shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, whether on purpose or by mistake. https://t.co/hTaLzSBGBO
