There are probably still people under the rubble - the search for survivors is ongoing.

I am at the scene of the crash, personally monitoring the progress of the rescue operation. Rescuers, doctors, police, and all responsible services are working.

This is another terrible crime of the Russians on our land. They seek to exterminate us all to the last one. Therefore, I again and again call on all civilians: evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine! Take care of yourself and your loved ones! — noted Filashkin.
