How Ukraine is reacting to the Iran crash

All crew and passengers on board Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) flight PS752 were killed when the plane crashed near the Iranian capital, Tehran.

The loss of 176 lives has terrible echoes for the Ukrainian people of the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in 2014.

Oleksandr Danylyuk, former head of Ukraine's national security and defence council, says there will be a lot of pressure on the Ukrainian government to respond to the tragedy.
