Russia and Ukraine Commence Humanitarian Exchange Following Negotiations

Russian Deputy President and Chief Negotiator Vladimir Medinsky announced a significant development in the ongoing conflict: the commencement of the exchange of fallen soldiers and wounded combatants between Russia and Ukraine. This breakthrough follows the recent negotiations held in Istanbul on June 2, aiming to facilitate humanitarian efforts amid the hostilities.

According to Medinsky, Russia has already delivered the remains of 1,212 soldiers to Ukraine, while receiving 27 bodies in return. These exchanges are crucial for honoring the fallen and providing closure to families affected by the conflict. Medinsky emphasized that the recovered remains will now be laid to rest according to Christian customs, ensuring respectful burials for the fallen.

He further assured that the work to process the remains will continue in the upcoming days, with efforts intensifying to complete the exchange process efficiently. “Tomorrow, the exchange of severely wounded soldiers will begin,” Medinsky announced, highlighting a new phase in the humanitarian initiatives.

He added that starting from the following day, urgent “medical exchanges” of critically injured prisoners from the front lines will be initiated. Medinsky reaffirmed Russia’s commitment, stating, “Russia does not leave behind its children participating in the special military operation!”
