MOSCOW - Russian news outlet Kommersant said two Russian fighter jets and two military helicopters had been shot down on Saturday close to the Ukrainian border, in what would be a spectacular coup for Kyiv if confirmed.
The Russian state news agency TASS said a Russian Su-34 warplane had crashed in that region but did not specify a cause. Kommersant provided no evidence for its report that four aircraft had been downed, but the same assertion was also made by several heavily followed pro-war military bloggers. The Moscow Defence Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Kommersant report.
