MOSCOW, April 9 (Reuters) – Ukraine and Russia exchanged the bodies of deceased soldiers on Thursday, officials said.
Kyiv received 1,000 bodies that Russia says belong to the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian centre handling prisoner of war swaps said on the Telegram app.
Ukraine handed over 41 dead Russians, Russia’s RBC news outlet cited lawmaker Shamsail Saraliyev as saying.
The two sides have periodically exchanged their war dead in the course of the conflict.
