Russia has completed a significant repatriation of 1,200 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers, describing the prisoner exchange as one-sided after Ukraine did not return any bodies. The handover was agreed upon in peace talks in Istanbul, with earlier exchanges also noted. Ukraine's officials are now working on identifying the remains received. Amid these exchanges, the EU has extended its protection scheme for Ukrainian refugees until March 2027, highlighting ongoing challenges due to the war's impact on civilians.
"Russia has returned the bodies of 1,200 Ukrainian soldiers to Kyiv during a recent exchange, marking one of the largest repatriations in the ongoing war."
"Despite existing agreements, Russia claims Ukraine has not returned any of their fallen soldiers' bodies, citing the exchange as one-sided and problematic."
