Russia has been fighting Ukraine for over 10 years now and yet to win the war

🇷🇺 Russia handed over the bodies of 528 fallen soldiers to 🇺🇦 Ukraine, Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War announced Saturday.

According to the authorities, the bodies, which belongs to Ukrainian servicemen, were returned as part of repatriation measures.

Law enforcement investigators and forensic experts will work to identify the deceased, according to a statement posted on US social media company Facebook.

Earlier Friday, state news agency Tass reported, citing sources, that Russia and Ukraine exchanged the bodies of fallen soldiers, with Russia handing over 526 and receiving 41 bodies.

However, Russia has not yet made any official statement regarding the exchange.

In April, Russia said it handed over 1,000 bodies of fallen soldiers to Ukraine, while the Ukrainian side handed over 41 bodies. Ukraine confirmed it had received 1,000 bodies but did not specify how many bodies were transferred to Russia.

On Feb. 2, 2026, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that since June 2025, more than 12,000 remains had been handed over to Ukraine, while Russia had received more than 200 bodies of its servicemen.

The ministry also said that 17 rounds of prisoner-of-war and detainee exchanges between Russia and Ukraine, organized with mediation by the UAE in 2024 and 2025, had resulted in the release of more than 4,000 people.

The Coordination Headquarters expressed sincere gratitude to the International Committee of the Red Cross for its assistance and support in carrying out repatriation efforts.

“Special thanks go to the personnel of the Central Directorate for Civil-Military Cooperation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which transports the repatriated remains to specialized state institutions,” the Coordination Headquarters emphasized.

Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Bessent:

Attacks from Iran have closed the Strait, and we are reopening it.

I would urge the Chinese to join us in supporting this international operation.pic.twitter.com/xchiqvUpQW
