The exchange of bodies of military and prisoners of war is one of the few areas of cooperation between Moscow and Kiev since the beginning of the Ukraine Russian invasion in February 2022
THE Ukraine said, on Friday (18), that received the bodies of hundreds of soldiers killed in combat against Russia, in the second repatriation of the type in three weeks. The exchange of bodies of military and prisoners of war is one of the few areas of cooperation between Moscow and Kiev since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
“As a result of repatriation activities, the bodies of 909 fallen Ukrainian defenders were returned to Ukraine,” the coordination headquarters for the treatment of war prisoners in social networks said.

Russia does not usually announce when the bodies of its soldiers are returned, nor do it disclose up -to -date information about the number of combat dead in Ukraine. But the Russian press and military bloggers say the bodies of 41 dead soldiers were returned to Russia, citing Shamsail Saraliev, a deputy who is part of the parliamentary committee that supervises the offensive.
Moscow and Kiev disbelieve their military losses. In a rare public estimate, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky said in mid -February that more than 46,000 soldiers in the country died and almost 380,000 were injured.
