The Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down an Il-76 aircraft over Belgorod.

The IL-76 military aircraft was transporting 65 Ukrainian POW for exchange with Russian POW, along with 6 crew members and 3 escorts.

The captured Ukrainian servicemen were being transported to the Belgorod region for exchange.

Another Il-76 carrying 80 Ukrainian prisoners of war turned back, said the head of the Duma Defense Committee Andrei Kartapolov.

“The Ukrainian leadership was well aware of the impending exchange and was informed of how the prisoners would be delivered,” he said during a speech in the State Duma

After the crash of the IL-76 in the Belgorod region, prisoner exchanges between the Russian Federation and Ukraine will apparently be put on pause.

These quotes from the Guardian are really telling. They spend the whole article denying that it happened the way Russia claimed it did, but then they slip in these two sentences towards the end:

"Ukrainian military intelligence later confirmed that the planned prisoner exchange had not taken place on Wednesday.

The Ukrainska Pravda newspaper initially cited sources which said Kyiv’s armed forces had shot down the plane but later withdrew the report."

Yeah this one is pretty hard to deny, even for the bullshit artists in the pro-Ukraine media.

Also, do you mind giving us a link to that article that you are talking about? Just for reference.

Lmao you should take a look at r/worldnews if you think liberals are going to have any trouble denying this.

You see the plane exploded when it was shot down which means there were no prisoners just a bunch of illegal missles they were smuggling.
