Today, the information resources of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War were subjected to a DDoS attack.

"Apparently, the enemy has decided that information, in particular, about the details of prisoner-of-war exchanges and the downing of the Il-76 aircraft, poses a threat to it," the statement said.

At the same time, the headquarters noted that for security reasons, access to some functions and resources would be restricted for a while.

Russian hackers warn of cyberattacks

The pro-Russian hacker group NoName05716 has announced plans to launch a large-scale cyberattack on the Ukrainian government. The hackers claim that they are preparing to attack the Ukrainian government with the help of other hacker groups.

Crash of a Russian Il-76 aircraft

On January 24, a Russian military transport plane, an Il-76, crashed in the Korocha district of Belgorod region.

According to RBC-Ukraine's sources, the aircraft was carrying missiles for the S-300 air defense system. At the same time, Russia claims that the plane was carrying 65 prisoners, 6 crew members, and 3 escorts.

Later, Defence Intelligence confirmed that the exchange of prisoners of war was to take place on January 24.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the enemy was playing with the lives of Ukrainian prisoners and called for an international investigation.

According to Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, there are no signs to indicate that there could have been dozens of people on board the Il-76, as Russia claims.
