Ukraine repatriates 252 bodies that Russia claims belong to Ukrainian soldiers

Ukraine has repatriated 252 bodies claimed by Russia to be Ukrainian soldiers, with forensic examinations planned for identification. Previous repatriations included Russian soldiers, raising concerns about Russia's treatment of its own personnel. The International Committee of the Red Cross facilitated this operation, which is part of ongoing humanitarian cooperation between the two nations. The latest repatriation follows a similar operation in August, where 261 bodies were returned. Ukraine does not disclose the number of Russian soldiers' remains returned to Russia.
