Very sad. This aircraft has been in the UK skies a lot recently on cargo charter work. Apparently en route from Vigo to Istanbul according to Ukrainian media.
Chairman of the State Migration Service of Ukraine Maksym Sokoliuk, in turn, said on Facebook that there were seven crewmembers on board the plane An-12 UR-CAH (flight UKL4050) of the Ukraine Aeroalliance ("Ukraine Air Alliance") Airline. The plane was flying from Vigo (Spain) to Lviv (Ukraine). According to him, the plane made an emergency landing near the cemetery in the village of Sokilnyky. "There are deaths, according to a preliminary report. The plane had to make an emergency landing because it ran out of fuel. A probe into the incident has begun," Sokoliuk added.

Sad day today, nobody starts his duty with the intention of this outcome. Rest in Peace.
I used to operate in the same market, the ad-hoc cargo charter, for the automotive industry.
I have seen crews hanging around at airports and handling lounges in UK and Sweden, waiting for hours because the company refused to extend their hotel rooms.
Even saw one day an Antonov parked in Morocco with the crew sleeping in the aircraft because the company did not arrange their visa’s to enter Morroco.
I hope a thorough investigation will follow also taking into account the rest and duty times and if fatique has played part in this incident.

From AvHerald:
On Oct 5th 2019 the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) revoked the status as authorized third country operator from the airline effectively disallowing the airline to operate within the airspace of the European Union.
Easa must have been in a hurry to revoke their permit. Apparently it could not wait till after the weekend.

Within the 48 hours preceding the crash this aircraft flew Accra-Santa Maria-Bangor-Toronto-Toulouse-Vigo-Lviv (ACC-SMA-BGR-YYZ-TLS-VGO-LWO), this is very roughly 35-37 hours in the air. All of it is an ad-hoc cargo operation, I give it 99% chance it was done by the same crew.

On Oct 7th 2019 Ukraine's Ministry of Transport announced, the air operator's certificate (AoC) of the airline Ukraine Air Alliance was terminated effective Oct 5th 2019 00:00z. The Ministry wrote: "The order was adopted on the basis of a decision of the Standing Commission on the Certification of Operators, Maintenance and Aviation Maintenance Organizations, Aviation Engineering Developers and Manufacturers, Training Flight Training Facilities in Ukraine, Flight and Technical Personnel (Minutes No. 46 of 04 October 2019 )."
