The Ukrainian leader has called for an international probe into the downing of the Russian Il-76
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on Wednesday disagreed with Moscow’s claim that Kiev’s air defenses shot down the Russian plane carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs scheduled to be exchanged.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Il-76 military transport was transporting 65 Ukrainian captives when it was shot down by a Ukrainian missile over Belgorod Region. Six Russian crew members and three officials were also on board. There were no survivors.
« We must determine all the hard facts – as much as possible, given that the plane crashed on Russian territory, » Zelensky said in a video published on his website.
