"Ukraine Accuses Russia of Withholding Bodies of Plane Crash Victims"
TL;DR
Russia has refused to hand over the bodies of prisoners of war to Ukraine, claiming they were killed in the downing of a Russian military transport plane by Ukrainian forces. Western intelligence assessments suggest the plane was shot down by a missile from Ukraine, but the presence of POWs on board remains unconfirmed. President Putin insists on an international inquiry, while Russia's Investigative Committee claims the plane was brought down by a U.S.-made Patriot air defense system supplied to Ukraine by Western allies. The conflict continues with Russian strikes in Ukraine, including a drone attack in President Zelenskyy's hometown and an airstrike in Kherson.
