What is known about the crash of Il-76
Let us remind you that yesterday, January 24, an Il-76 military transport plane crashed in the Belgorod region of Russia. Russian media were the first to report this. According to RBC-Ukraine sources, he was transporting missiles for the S-300 air defense system.
In turn, the terrorist Russian Ministry of Defense stated that there were allegedly 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war on board the Il-76 who were being prepared for exchange. The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region stated that the exchange really should have taken place and was disrupted. But intelligence does not confirm the statement that there were Ukrainian prisoners of war on the plane. They note that information on the IL-76 crew is being checked.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky later said that the Russians are playing with the lives of Ukrainian prisoners, with the feelings of relatives and with the emotions of our society. He also noted that it is necessary to establish all clear facts, as much as possible, given that the plane crashed on Russian territory.
At the same time, a statement from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has already appeared. Also against the backdrop of the fall of Il, the commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Nikolai Oleshchuk, also released a statement.
