The General Staff emphasized that behind each returned body is the story of a soldier who gave his life for Ukraine.

This is another large exchange of bodies of the fallen since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Behind each is a name and a story that Ukraine must return

— the agency noted.

Repatriation became possible thanks to the coordinated work of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Office of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights, the State Emergency Service, and other structures of the security and defense sector. The International Committee of the Red Cross also joined the process.
