Narrative:
During the initial climb after takeoff from Kharkiv-Sokilnyky Airport, the fuel pressure on the left engine dropped. The crew shut down this engine and feathered the propeller. It was decided to return to the airport. A fire then broke out on the left engine due to fuel leakage in the engine compartment. The crew decided on an emergency landing outside the airfield. A gear-up emergency landing was carried out on a selected site, but the aircraft crashed.
