Russia says Ukraine downed military plane in 'barbaric' act - TASS

Russia's foreign ministry on Wednesday said that Ukraine had downed a military plane that crashed in Russia's Belgorod region, calling it a "barbaric" act, state news agency TASS reported.

The ministry provided no evidence for the claim. A Russian lawmaker said earlier on Wednesday that the plane had been shot down by U.S. or German missiles supplied to Ukraine. (Writing by Felix Light; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)
