During the exchange of prisoners of war on January 31, there were no those whom Russia allegedly transported on the Il-76 plane that crashed in the Belgorod region of Russia. The exchange planned for January 24 continued today. The fate of the servicemen on the list is still unknown. Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate Andrei Yusov stated this in a commentary to Public.
The basis of the list remained provisional. But, unfortunately, with the exception of the list of 65 people whom Russia declared dead,” he noted.
Also, intelligence did not comment on the number of Russian prisoners who were exchanged today.
Let us remind you that on January 24, an Il-76 military transport plane crashed in the Belgorod region of Russia. The occupiers blamed Ukraine for the sinking of the ship, but refuse to involve international experts in the investigation. Moscow said that 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed in the plane crash, but this has not yet been confirmed.
The United Nations was also unable to determine whether there were prisoners from Ukraine on board the Il-76 plane.
