1,200 to 0: Russia Hands Over Second Batch of Ukrainian Soldiers' Bodies

Click to see full-size image

In a continued humanitarian effort, Russia has handed over the bodies of another 1,200 Ukrainian soldiers, marking the second batch transfered to Kyiv. The exchange, conducted at the Russia-Ukraine border, follows earlier agreements reached during negotiations in Istanbul.

Unlike the first repatriation, which utilized refrigerated trucks, this latest transfer was carried out via refrigerated railcars. Ukrainian representatives received the remains and began the process of reloading them into their own transport for further examination.

 

 

This latest handover brings the total number of returned Ukrainian servicemen to 2,412, part of a broader commitment to repatriate up to 6,000 fallen troops. The first exchange occurred on June 11, when Russia returned 1,212 bodies in exchange for just 27 Russian soldiers. Today, Kyiv found no Russian bodies to bring in exchange, as Kyiv probably lacks sufficient Russian casualties to reciprocate in kind.

The transfers come amid ongoing disputes over casualty figures, with Ukrainian officials downplaying their losses while making unverified claims about Russian fatalities. As the repatriations continue, the process highlights the grim human toll of the conflict, even as diplomatic channels remain open for such humanitarian exchanges.

to force ukies to fight for nato’s globalist new world order is nothing less than per-meditated murder by zelensky’s illegitimate regime

yes, normally you dont jail the shotgun, when it have be used to murder someone. especially not when the same murderer time after another use different shotgun for to murder. you understand what the root cause are; the murderer.

no bodies to exchange because russia have already collected their dead as they slowly advance and keep the numbers hidden. just go to other sites and see how jkraine is accurately targeting with superior targeting and optics and explosive devices. just that russian sites don’t show this.
