Russia and Ukraine Exchange Bodies of 285 Fallen Soldiers
Ukraine confirmed the swap as one of the few direct channels between Moscow and Kyiv, with repatriations of fallen soldiers continuing despite tensions.
- On Thursday, Russia and Ukraine exchanged the remains of 285 soldiers, with Russia returning 261 bodies to Ukraine while receiving 24 bodies, according to the RBC outlet.
- Repatriations of fallen soldiers and prisoner-of-war exchanges remain among the few direct communication channels between Moscow and Kyiv since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.
- Human Rights Ombudswoman Yana Lantratova accused Ukraine of refusing exchanges on Wednesday and Thursday, publishing a list of 497 Ukrainian prisoners of war whom she claimed Moscow was ready to return.
- Ukraine's Coordination Headquarters confirmed the exchange but accused Lantratova of running a 'disinformation campaign,' stating that selective lists do not demonstrate genuine desire to bring people home.
- Alleging Russia is stalling negotiations, the Coordination Headquarters claimed it identified 200 detention sites, including so-called 'basements,' where Ukrainian POWs are held and subjected to mistreatment.
