"Disputed Claims: Russia and Ukraine Clash Over POW Plane Incident"

Russian President Putin claims that a Ukrainian military transport plane carrying prisoners of war was shot down by Ukraine, but Ukrainian officials deny the allegation, stating that there is no evidence to support Russia's claim. Russia provided a list of the POWs who allegedly died in the crash, but Ukrainian authorities say that relatives were unable to identify their loved ones in crash site photos. Ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied shooting down the plane, and President Zelenskyy has called for an international investigation into the crash, though Russia remains in sole control of the crash site.
