In a poignant development, Ukraine has successfully reclaimed the remains of 1,000 service members killed in the ongoing conflict following Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The latest exchange between the two nations was confirmed by Ukrainian officials on Thursday.
The war has left Ukraine grappling with over 7,000 mostly unidentified bodies, brought home through a series of exchanges after negotiations in Istanbul earlier this year. These efforts underscore the grim toll of a conflict that continues to affect countless families.
A statement from Kyiv's coordinating council for prisoners of war revealed that officials are actively working to identify the fallen personnel, providing closure to the bereaved families and ensuring due respect for those who served their country.
