Russia says Ukraine had 15-minute warning on PoW flight; Kyiv denies

A high-ranking Russian legislator claimed that Ukrainian military intelligence received a 15-minute advance notice before a Russian military transport plane, transporting Ukrainian prisoners of war, was shot down on Wednesday, resulting in the tragic loss of all on board.

Moscow contends that Kyiv is responsible for downing the Ilyushin Il-76 plane in Russia’s Belgorod region, leading to the deaths of 74 individuals, including 65 captured Ukrainian soldiers who were en route to be exchanged for Russian prisoners of war.

Russia’s Investigative Committee asserted on Thursday that the plane was targeted by a Ukrainian-made surface-to-air missile.

Contrary to the Russian assertion, Ukraine denied receiving any warning, Reuters has reported.
