]]> Russia has returned to Ukraine the bodies of 522 Ukrainians killed in the war, as part of a new exchange operation carried out on Thursday with the support of the Red Cross organization. The Ukrainian side handed over the bodies of 33 Russian soldiers, reports IPN.

The Major Coordination State for Prisoners of War of Ukraine has noted that the Russian side has announced that the returned bodies belong to Ukrainian citizens, particularly military personnel. Ukrainian investigators are to carry out all necessary examinations for their identification.

The repatriation actions of the earthly remains have been taking place periodically since June last year, based on the agreements reached in Istanbul. Since then, Ukraine has received over 10 thousand dead soldiers, while Russia – a few hundred. Neither Moscow nor Kiev officially report the number of soldiers killed on the front.
