Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said Ukraine dispatched a plane to Belarus to transport three young footballers injured in a road accident earlier in May.

"Our plane has flown to Belarus for the young Ukrainian footballers who were in a road accident more than two weeks ago. The three children will be taken home in an hour," Groysman said on his Twitter page.

As earlier reported, young Ukrainian footballers were injured in a road accident in Belarus' Brest region. One child died, two of the injured are in serious condition.
