President Zelenskyy announced that during recent war dead exchanges, Kyiv received at least 20 Russian soldiers' bodies instead of Ukrainians, indicating Russia's negligence in verifying identities. Zelenskyy condemned this practice, noting that some bodies had Russian passports. This happened after peace talks in Istanbul, which yielded agreements for returning soldiers but no significant resolutions to the ongoing conflict. Additionally, Ukraine is seeking increased Western support to enhance its domestic arms production.
They threw the corpses of their citizens at us. This is their attitude toward war, toward their soldiers. And this is already documented.
Zelenskyy claimed that the Russian side insisted the dead were all Ukrainians while journalists showed a Russian passport of one of the deceased.
