Russia Accuses Kyiv of Downing Plane Carrying Ukrainian Prisoners of War

President Zelensky slams Putin for 'playing with prisoners' lives' after plane carrying 65 POWs crashed in huge fireball - as Russia claims Ukraine was behind tragedy

Dramatic video shows an out-of-control Ilyushin Il-76 plunging from the sky and smashing into the ground in front of horrified locals in the Belgorod region near Ukraine's border yesterday.

Russia said that the 65 POWs, six Russian crew and three escorts on board were all killed in the deadly plane crash. Hours after the tragedy, both Russia and Ukraine quickly pinned the blame on one another.

Without providing evidence Moscow accused Ukraine of killing its own POWs, while Kyiv demanded an international inquiry and called for full clarification of the circumstances of the incident.

President Zelensky, in his evening address, said: 'It is clear that the Russians are playing with the lives of Ukrainian prisoners, the feelings of their loved ones and the emotions of our society.'

Both Russia and Ukraine have tried to pin the blame on the other for the deadly crash that left no survivors


NB: I think Russia deliberately DID NOT inform Ukraine they were sending a RUSSIAN plane carrying Ukrainian Prisoners of War....expecting it to be shot down...
