"Ukraine Denies Russian Claims of POW Deaths in Downed Plane"

Ukraine denies having any evidence to support Russia's claim that a military transport plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war was shot down by Ukrainian forces, as Moscow alleges. Ukrainian officials state that Russia has not provided credible evidence for the claim and that relatives of the named POWs were unable to identify their loved ones in crash site photos. Both countries have conflicting narratives about the incident, with Ukraine calling for an international investigation into the crash. Additionally, Ukrainian and Lithuanian officials discuss joint drone production and reviving a European Union fund to pay for military aid, while reports of civilian casualties and shelling continue in the region.
