The Belarusian side was told that the aircraft's flight data recorders had been found and their serial numbers match Aviation Department records.
The source said: “A number of mass media reported that allegedly the aircraft had not been de-iced when leaving Yakutsk. We would like to explain that de-icing is done only to enable an aircraft to depart. The crew can turn on the de-icing system in flight.”
The ministry also said that they are working with Russian colleagues to organize the delivery of the dead bodies.
