Ukrainian officials say Russia has provided no credible evidence to back its claims that their own forces shot down a military plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war who were to be swapped for Russian POWs. Ukraine's Coordination Staff for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said late on January 27 that Russian officials had "with great delay" provided it with a list of the 65 Ukrainians who Moscow said had died in the plane crash in Russia's Belgorod region. It said relatives of the named POWs were unable to identify their loved ones in crash-site photos provided by Russian authorities.
