The Russian board fell 86 kilometers from the Ukrainian border in the Belgorod region. It could be affected by weapons of American production, said French journalists. The Russian Il-76 aircraft could be confused in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation with the help of the Patriot Anti-Stilding Missile Complex. This was reported by France Info with reference to the French military source.

"According to this source, this aircraft, IL-76, was shot down by Patrioot of American production, which had a Ukrainian army," the report said. On Tuesday on January 24, a Russian military transport aircraft IL-76 fell in the Belgorod region. The board fell 5-6 kilometers from the village of Yablunove in the Korochan district, which is 86 kilometers from Kharkiv region.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, there were 74 people on board, of whom 65 captured servicemen of the Armed Forces. At the same time, information emerged that the aircraft could be knocked down with the air defense system. On January 25, the media reported that the Russian Federation could spread fake information that there were Ukrainian prisoners of war on the IL-76 aircraft, since many bodies were not visible from the catastrophe.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in the evening address on January 24 stated that the SBU was investigating all the circumstances of the IL-76 disaster in the Belgorod region, while GUR finds the fate of all the prisoners. According to him, Ukraine will insist on an international investigation. We will remind, on January 25, Major-General of the SBU in the reserve Viktor Yangun reported that the Russian plane Il-76 did not fly to Belgorod. In particular, he was heading the other way.
