This was announced by Deputy Secretary General of the organization Rosemary DiCarlo during a meeting of the UN Security Council.

“The UN is unable to verify reports of the circumstances of the crash,” she said.

Earlier, the official representative of the UN Secretary General, Stephane Dujarric, said that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) cannot investigate the incident with the Il-76 that crashed in the Belgorod region, since it is a military aircraft.

As Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said, the United States is checking information that American weapons were used in the attack on the Il-76 plane with Ukrainian prisoners on board in the Belgorod region.
