Russian investigators after the Il-76 plane crash
Russia has exclusive access to the crash site, making it impossible to independently verify claims about what happened and what evidence investigators obtained, Reuters noted. So far, Kiev has called for an international investigation. He rejected Russian claims that he had been warned in advance about a plane carrying prisoners of war over the Belgorod region, but acknowledged that a planned prisoner-of-war exchange between Ukraine and Russia did not take place that day.
Ukraine also pointed to discrepancies in a purported list of Ukrainians published by Russian media, saying some of them had already been released and returned to their homeland as part of an earlier prisoner swap.
Russian state media said the plane’s black boxes had been delivered to a special Defense Ministry laboratory in Moscow and investigators were working to decode them.
The plane crashed in the Belgorod region, not far from the border with Ukraine, which has been resisting armed Russian aggression for almost two years. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, there were a total of 74 people on the plane, including 65 captured Ukrainian soldiers who were available for exchange.
