"Today we managed to return home the bodies of 82 dead Ukrainian soldiers", - the report says.
The ministry noted that the return of the bodies was organized with the assistance of the office of the Commissioner for Missing Persons at the Ministry, as well as thanks to law enforcement agencies.
The report does not specify whether this was an exchange of the bodies of the dead with the Russian side, or the transfer of bodies was carried out unilaterally. The Russian authorities have not yet confirmed this information.
It's worth reminding that the last time the Ukrainian Ministry reported on the exchange of the bodies of the dead was on March 24. Then it was noted about the transfer of the bodies of 83 Ukrainian soldiers.
On April 10, Russian Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova announced the return of 106 Russians from Ukrainian captivity. "After rehabilitation, they will return to their relatives and friends", - she wrote, promising to make every effort to ensure that every Russian captured by the Ukrainian military returned to his homeland.
