Russian officials stated on Sunday that they are still waiting for official confirmation from Kyiv regarding a planned exchange of 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in action. They reiterated claims that Ukraine had postponed the swap.
Russian state media quoted Lt. Gen. Alexander Zorin, a representative of the Russian negotiating group, as saying that Russia delivered the first batch of 1,212 bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to the exchange site at the border. Zorin added that they are waiting for confirmation from the Ukrainian side, but that there are "signals" that the process of transferring the bodies will be postponed until next week.
