A Ukrainian official said his country is preparing to confiscate a Russian cargo jet seized last year by Canada.
The An-124 first flew in 1982 and is capable of transporting more than 330,000 pounds.
The plane was seized after Canada prohibited Russian aircraft from its skies following the invasion.
