Ukraine says repatriation of war dead over after 1,245 more bodies received from Russia

On June 16, Ukraine received 1,245 bodies of fallen soldiers from Russia as part of a repatriation agreement reached in Istanbul.
This exchange followed the June 2 Istanbul talks, where both sides agreed on large-scale prisoner and body swaps amid ongoing conflict without a ceasefire.
Ukrainian officials reported receiving a total of 6,057 bodies under the deal, while Russia announced readiness to hand over another 2,239 bodies.
Defence Minister Rustem Umerov highlighted that the process of returning the remains of deceased soldiers is approaching its conclusion, stressing the importance of recognizing each individual by name.
The repatriation marks a major humanitarian effort, but prisoner exchanges continue and both sides remain far apart on ending the war.
