"Ukraine Accuses Russia of Falsifying Evidence in Downed Plane Incident"
TL;DR
Russia claims a downed military plane carried 65 Ukrainian POWs, but Ukraine says Russia has not provided evidence of their presence and is blocking an international investigation. Ukrainian officials reject Russia's request for DNA samples from POWs' relatives and have not seen proof of their deaths. Russia accuses Ukraine of shooting down the plane, but has not provided substantial evidence. The situation remains murky, with both sides trading blame and little clarity on the fate of the alleged POWs.
