In a series of recent exchanges, Ukraine has received bodies of Russian soldiers, with President Zelenskyy confirming at least 20 recent returns. The latest operations also included the repatriation of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs), among whom were wounded and seriously ill individuals. Ukraine has conducted multiple POW swaps with Russia under the Istanbul agreements, with the most recent involving the repatriation of 1,200 Ukrainian bodies. Reports suggest that Russia has been returning bodies while complicating the identification process, allegedly mixing up remains. The ongoing exchange of soldiers and bodies reflects the continuing humanitarian efforts amid the conflict, despite the complexities and tragic cost of repatriation.
