A source in the country’s FSB secret service said the plane has been hijacked and flown close to the Pakistan border.
The Boeing 777 has been missing since March 8 and it is thought the black box which holds the flight’s secrets may have run out of battery.
There are 239 people on board the Malaysia Airlines plane, which was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The source told a Russia newspaper: All the passengers are alive, they have been divided into seven groups and are living in mud huts with almost no food,” reported the Sun.
The report added that 20 passengers who were Asian “specialists” have been smuggled into a bunker in Pakistan.

Malaysia Boeing 777 passengers safe and sound in Afghanistan: any odds?
The plane with a damaged wing is parked on an unpaved road in Aghan Kandahar, says an anonymous source in the secret service to Russian newspaper "MK.RU". They pointed out this very version is regarded probable by a number of other states’ intelligence, having already got broad coverage in foreign press.
According to the inside, the hijacking was done by a Pakistani terrorist to get hands on 20 Asian specialists, now kept in a bunker on the Afghan-Pakistani border. The rest of passengers are in Afghanistan, living in groups of seven in small huts.
The source described the plane’s location, adding it had performed a difficult landing in the area.
It’s still unclear what the terrorists had on their mind, as one of the versions suggests the reason for the hijacking lay in hope for success in negotiations with Beijing or Washington.
Many took the piece with a pinch of salt, some denying the possibility of a similar terrorist attack outright, both on social networks and discussion forums. They say the riddle that the multinational team has been trying to solve for over a month has been unduly politicized.
