Ukrainian officials reported the repatriation of around 1,200 bodies of soldiers in accordance with a peace agreement reached during talks in Istanbul. Russian forces claimed that these bodies belong to Ukrainian military personnel. The operation involved multiple Ukrainian government agencies, and forensic experts are tasked with identifying the remains. Meanwhile, Russia has reportedly gained control of multiple villages in Ukraine, intensifying its offensive amidst ongoing battles. Additionally, an American citizen jailed in Russia as a mercenary protested his innocence after being located by his legal team.
The repatriation of the bodies was carried out with the help of Ukraine's armed forces, the country's security service, the interior ministry and other government agencies.
Russia's defence ministry said Russian forces had also taken control of two other Ukrainian villages Koptevo and Komar in the eastern Donetsk region.
