The Russian plane with 65 prisoners of war crashes, the Kremlin accuses Ukraine:
The moment of the crash of the Russian plane

Russia accused Kiev on Wednesday of shooting down a military transport plane, killing all 74 people on board, including 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war.

The flight was en route to the southern Belgorod region ahead of a prisoner exchange at the border when it was brought down by a "terrorist act", the Kremlin said.

International media have not been able to independently verify who was on board the flight or what caused it to crash. Ukrainian officials warned against sharing "unverified information" but did not immediately deny the claims or offer further details.

The Ilyushin Il-76 plane was "conducting a scheduled flight" at an airport near the border when it was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile system, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

"On board the plane were six crew members, 65 Ukrainian military personnel for the exchange and three Russian military personnel accompanying them. The crew and all passengers of the plane were killed," the statement said.

Russian radar systems "observed the launch of two Ukrainian missiles," the Kremlin says. The Russian Defense Ministry said the Ukrainian government "knew very well that, according to established practice," a military transport plane would fly that route before the planned prisoner exchange.

Ukraine's military said in a statement that its forces "take all measures to protect Ukraine and Ukrainians."

"To reduce the missile threat, the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only control the airspace, but also monitor in detail the launch points of the missiles and the logistics of their delivery, especially with the use of military transport aviation," the statement said.
