Russia claims to shot down Ukrainian military plane

Russian defence ministry: Russian missiles also hit an artillery training centre in Ukraine’s Sumy area.
Another strike in the Odesa region destroyed a “foreign mercenaries'” camp.
Ukraine says it has recaptured part of the industrial city of Sievierodonetsk in Luhansk area.

MOSCOW: Russia forces shot down a Ukrainian military transport jet carrying weaponry and munitions near the Black Sea city of Odesa, according to the Russian defence ministry on Saturday.

According to the ministry, Russian missiles also hit an artillery training centre in Ukraine’s Sumy area, where foreign instructors worked. As per the report, another strike in the Odesa region destroyed a “foreign mercenaries'” camp.

Meanwhile, before resuming peace talks with Russia, Ukraine wants to bolster its ground positions with new arms supply from the West, according to Ukrainian negotiator David Arakhamia.

“Our armed forces are ready to use (the new weapons)…and then I think we can initiate a new round of talks from a strengthened position,” he said on Friday on Ukraine’s state television.

Ukraine stated the recapture of a portion of the industrial city of Sievierodonetsk in the Luhansk area, which was the focal point of a Russian effort to conquer the eastern Donbas region.
