[Regnum] Moscow is ready to transfer to Kiev about 3 thousand more bodies of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was stated on June 20 by the aide to the President of Russia, the head of the Russian delegation at the negotiations with Ukraine Vladimir Medinsky.
"About 3,000 more [bodies] are ready to be sent to the Ukrainian side, if they are ready to accept them. We have them in refrigerated trucks, our military will hand them over so that their relatives have the opportunity to bury them, identify them finally and bury them in a Christian manner," Medinsky said in an interview with RT.
He also commented on the statement by Kyiv representatives, according to which the body of a Russian serviceman was allegedly handed over to Ukraine along with the bodies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters. Medinsky called this statement propaganda.
On June 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to transfer another 3,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers to Kiev. In addition, the head of state once again pointed out the need to hold negotiations to resolve the conflict. According to him, the crisis in Ukraine must not only be resolved, but also find a solution for the future.
