At least 6 people were killed by Russian missiles in Ukrainian cities

Russia has blamed Ukraine for downing a military plane that was carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners to a prisoner exchange on Wednesday, claiming it was shot down by a “terrorist” missile. The plane was flying to the Belgorod airfield for an exchange of prisoners, Russia added. However, some Ukrainian authorities, including the country’s ombudsman for human rights, suggested the report was propaganda aimed at destabilizing Ukrainian society.
