Russia returns bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian troops
Kyiv said Tuesday that Russia had returned the bodies of one thousand killed Ukrainian soldiers, as part of previous agreements brokered between the two warring countries.
"Unfortunately, among those repatriated are the bodies of five Ukrainian servicemen who died in captivity," the government agency coordinating the repatriation announced on social media, adding that it would carry out tests to identify the remains delivered from eastern Ukraine and the Kursk region of Russia.
