Where exactly was the point of ground contact in relation to the R/W ?
So far the only report giving any clues is the CNN reference to 'the outskirts of Pechersk', a town immediately (about 2km) north of the airfield (Google Maps)

There is a wooded area between the airfield and the town, if this report is true the accident site is 1.5 km North of the runway, significantly off the approach path.

So far I have not seen any credible report even on which approach direction they were using.
