Russia is waiting for 1,212 dead Ukrainians

Ukraine is said to receive more than 6,000 of its fallen soldiers from Russia. But the handover stalls. Moscow representatives are waiting with the dead. And Kyiv?

According to Russian representatives, according to their own statements, 1,212 chilled remains of fallen soldiers in trucks near the Ukrainian border are waiting for the decrease in the dead. The Russian side expects a message about the Ukrainian channels whether the “humanitarian action” will be implemented or may be postponed to next week, said the Russian Ministry of Defense, Alexander Sorin, Moscow media representatives. “We are ready to hand over more than 6,000 corpses in trolleys – by road transport and on the railroad,” said the lieutenant general.

Russian state television showed the white trucks of the Ministry of Civil Protection on a busy street. The day before, Sorin had already published a video in the Telegram Canal of the Department of Defense on which the trucks with the cooling containers could be seen. Inside there were white sacks in which the remains of the Ukrainian soldiers are supposed to be.

The Ukrainian coordination rod had stated that the Russian side had established the time of handing over the dead without a precise appointment. Moscow, on the other hand, accused Kyiv a delay. Ukrainian opposition and Russian occupiers claimed that Ukraine hesitated with the takeover of so many corpses because it then had to pay high sums to the bereaved.

In contrast, the Ukrainian coordination rod emphasized that all dead soldiers should be brought home. So the relatives should be able to say goodbye to them. The staff spoke in a message from Telegram of “dirty games” and asked the Russian side to return to a constructive work.

Many therefore died in the Russian area of ​​Kursk, in which Ukrainian troops had conquered dozens of towns in August last year. Russia had spoken to the reconquest of major losses by the Ukrainian armed forces.

The return of the corpses and a new prisoner exchange with 1,200 detained on each page had been agreed at the beginning of the month in Istanbul in direct negotiations by representatives of Kiev and Moscow. It was also not clear for an appointment for the prisoner exchange that was actually expected this weekend.
