Russia has accused Ukraine of bringing down one of their military planes yesterday in the Belgorod region. According to Russia, all 74 people onboard were killed as it came down near a village, but Ukraine did not take responsibility for the three strikes that smashed into the plane. Russia also said that there were 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war on the plane, as it was en route to a prisoner exchange, and all of them were killed. Ukraine claims that Russia may have purposely endangered their lives and not warned Ukrainian officials, and it is their duty to protect the prisoners if they are onboard a Russian plane. Russia did not discuss beforehand with Ukraine, which is why they may not have known about the switch. However, Russia argued that Ukraine did know, so an investigation is being conducted by officials of the area so they can find out exactly who and what caused the incident.
