Ukraine Receives More than 1,200 Fallen Soldiers’ Bodies From Russia

  • On June 11, Ukraine received 1,212 bodies of its fallen soldiers repatriated from Russia under an agreement involving the exchange of prisoners and deceased personnel at the border.
  • This repatriation followed peace talks in Istanbul earlier in June that arranged for the exchange of prisoners and bodies, despite previous postponements and disputes between the sides.
  • The returned soldiers died in combat across multiple regions, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Russia’s Kursk region, while Russia received 27 bodies in return.
  • Medinsky confirmed the handover and said the bodies were in refrigerated trucks since Saturday, while Ukraine’s experts pledged to identify the deceased promptly.
  • This exchange reflects ongoing, limited cooperation amid escalating hostilities and failed ceasefire talks, with both sides continuing prisoner swaps and demanding political concessions.
