Poland can not accept Russia's report on the causes of the plane crash that killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski and 95 people other people in western Russia this April, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was quoted as saying on Friday.

"The IAC draft report, of course, can not be accepted in the form in which it was provided by the Russian side," Tusk said, as reported by TVN24, adding that Poland had a number of problems with the document.

The crash of the plane was caused by 12 factors, the country's envoy to the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) said.

"Not one, but 12 factors led to the plane crash. The number of mistakes and violations during the preparations and the flight itself is terrifying," envoy Edmund Klich said in an interview with the Rzeczpospolita newspaper earlier this month.

The worn-out Tu-154 crashed after hitting trees in thick fog on April 10. The delegation was on its way to a commemoration ceremony of the 1940 Katyn massacre, in which more than 20,000 Polish officers were executed by Soviet secret police.
