Ukraine says repatriation of war dead over after 1,245 more bodies received from Russia

Ukraine received 1,245 bodies of fallen soldiers from Russia on June 16, marking the final stage of a repatriation agreement reached in Istanbul.
During the talks held in Istanbul on June 2, both sides reached an extensive agreement to swap prisoners and return the bodies of fallen soldiers, but they did not secure a ceasefire.
Since late May, there have been multiple transfers returning more than 6,000 bodies, and around a thousand detainees from each side were swapped during the largest prisoner exchange at that time.
Defence Minister Rustem Umerov announced that the process of returning the bodies of fallen soldiers is now approaching its conclusion, while Andrii Yusov confirmed that Ukraine is fully adhering to the agreed-upon conditions.
The completion of the body repatriation underscores ongoing efforts to exchange prisoners of war despite continuing hostilities and no ceasefire agreement.
