The Ukrainian investigative project 'Schemes' has released satellite images of a Russian IL-76 crash site, amid ongoing disputes over the fate of the passengers. Ukraine has been repeatedly requesting Russia to hand over the bodies of 65 Ukrainian POWs that Moscow claims were killed in the crash, which occurred outside Belgorod on January 24. However, Russia, through the RIA news agency, denies receiving any such requests. Andriy Yusov, the spokesman for Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, has confirmed that Russia has not responded to these requests. Ukraine's Human Rights Commissioner has stated there is no evidence of prisoners on board, and Ukraine is keen on investigating the incident, while Russia is accused of trying to hide details. The Kremlin has countered by claiming the West is refusing to cooperate with the investigation, potentially to conceal their own involvement.
