This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine has suggested that it may have been tricked into shooting down a plane that Russia claims was carrying 74 people, including 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war.
“The landing of a transport plane in a 30-kilometer zone of hostilities cannot be safe and in any case must be discussed by both sides, because otherwise, it endangers the entire exchange process,” said the GUR.
“Based on this, we may be talking about planned and deliberate actions by the Russian Federation to destabilize the situation in Ukraine and weaken the international support for our state.”
“During the Jan. 24, 2024, massive Russian propaganda targets external audiences with a flow of fake news in an attempt to discredit Ukraine in front of the international community,” Oleshchuk wrote on his Telegram channel, reported Ukrainian media.
Ukrainian military intelligence initially said the plane had been carrying Russian S-300 air defense missiles, reported Ukrainska Pravda.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for an international investigation into the incident and accused Russia of “playing with the lives of Ukrainian prisoners.”
