A Russian Ilyushin-76 military transport plane has crashed in the southern Belgorod region near Ukraine.
Russia’s ministry of defence said 65 captured Ukrainian military were on the plane heading to the area for a prisoner exchange.
Ukrainian military intelligence later released a statement accusing Russia of putting the lives of prisoners of war at risk.
It said it had not been told it had to ensure safe airspace over Belgorod.
The BBC cannot yet verify who was on board, or what caused the plane to crash.
