 A military transport plane has crashed in the Belgorod region of Russia, with Moscow saying 65 prisoners of war and nine others were on board and accusing Ukraine of shooting it down.   


Planned prisoner swap no longer taking place, says Ukraine

A planned prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia has been cancelled, an official from Kyiv's Main Directorate of Intelligence has said. 

Andrii Yusov told Ukrainian news outlet Radio Liberty the exchange is "currently not taking place". 

It comes after Russia claimed 65 Ukrainian armed forces personnel had died after a military transport plane crashed in Belgorod this morning. 

Ukraine has urged people not to spread the unverified information.
