The world's heaviest cargo plane, the Antonov An-225 Mriya, has been destroyed in fighting near Kyiv, according to a Ukrainian media report.
The plane had been parked at the embattled Hostomel airfield north-west of the Ukrainian capital, Radio Svoboda (Radio Liberty) reported on Sunday, citing a former and a current employee of the aircraft manufacturer Antonov.
"Russia may have destroyed our Mriya," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted. "But they will never destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European country."
