Searchers combing the area where a Ukrainian military aircraft crashed found two more bodies on Saturday, bringing the death toll to 26. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy declared Saturday to be a day of mourning for the crash victims and ordered that flights of An-26 planes be halted pending investigation of the crash cause. Zelenskiy, who visited the crash area on Saturday, called for a full assessment of the condition of the country's military equipment and said he wanted an official report on the crash by Oct. 25. Just spoke to my Ukrainian colleague @DmytroKuleba and offered my condolences on behalf of Canada following the crash of the military plane and the tragic loss of so many young lives. The age of the plane that crashed Friday was not immediately reported.
