1000-38: Russia & Ukraine Exchange Dead Bodies Of Soldiers Killed (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 1:15pm On Jan 29

🇷🇺 Russia and 🇺🇦 Ukraine returned bodies of their soldiers on Thursday, marking the first such exchange between the two warring countries this year.

Russia transferred the remains of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers while receiving the bodies of 38 Russian servicemen, State Duma lawmaker Shamsail Saraliyev, a member of the ruling United Russia party, told the RBC news website.

Saraliyev shared photos showing people in white hazmat suits gathered around refrigerated trucks, as well as cars marked with the International Red Cross logo.

Ukraine’s headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war confirmed the exchange, thanking the Red Cross for its help.

“Repatriation efforts took place today, resulting in the return to Ukraine of 1,000 bodies, which the Russian side claims belong to Ukrainian defenders,” the headquarters wrote on Telegram.

“Law enforcement investigators, in collaboration with Ukrainian forensic experts, will now carry out all necessary measures to identify the repatriated deceased,” it added.

While the location of the exchange was not disclosed, a photo shared by the Ukrainian headquarters showed a road sign in the distance saying “Chernihiv,” suggesting it took place in northern Ukraine near the border with Belarus and Russia’s Bryansk region.

The repatriation of fallen soldiers and the exchange of prisoners of war have been one of the few areas of cooperation between Russia and Ukraine since the full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Moscow and Kyiv carried out 14 exchanges in 2025, with 14,480 bodies returned to Ukraine and 391 bodies returned to Russia.

The comedian president just pushed his country into a deep mess and scattered everywhere.

I only pity the Ukraine women because very soon majority won't be able to find a husband.

This really shows that Ukraine has been having much more casualties than Russia, Unfortunately western news have been reporting as if Russia suffer more casualties in the war.
However from the exchanges of corpses that have been happening, more than 3 times now, Russia has been returning thousands of Ukrainian bodies while Ukraine only returns tens of Russian bodies

I stopped taking this figure seriously after I realised that Russia was recruiting Mercenary from especially Africa to fight at the front. The mercenary are taking the heat while Ukraine don't care about their corpse.

What's the sense of all these?
Zelensky should hurriedly swallow his pride and put an end to all these senseless death.

The whole thing have become stale and soured.
Trump's attention is now on Greenland and Iran.

This is sickening!

At this rate the winner of this war would be the one willing to surrender and make great concessions to end this war.

That would be the real WINNER.

1038 life’s wasted!

The family and loved ones of those that initiated the war are living their best life’s while those of the average and poor kill themselves.

What could have been settled on a round table, but at a time, the likes of Boeing, Lockheed, and Raytheon have to make money.

And Ukraine isn't using foreigners?

The US Navy seals killed in Ukraine the other day are what?

You can continue deceiving yourself but it won't change the fact that Ukraine has employed more foreigners than Russia.

There are hundreds of websites online to join Ukranian army. Just Google it.

If i start publishing news of dead foreign fighters on the Ukranian side, we will spend 3 years on this thread.

Everyday it is 1000-37, 1000-38, 1000-30. If Ukrainians are having this casualties at this rate, in less than 8 months, Russia would have reached Poland. Propaganda is part of warfare grin

, Russia is yet to encircle the Donbass for close to 4years? Even after 1000 Ukrainians death per week? It took the Red army 2 years to walk from Stalingrad to Berlin yet Russia have expended 4 years killing 1000 Ukrainians per week and cannot occupy the whole of the Donbass
