Ukraine asks ICRC to help take bodies of dead Russian soldiers to Russia
Ukraine is asking the International Red Cross (ICRC) to help take the bodies of dead Russian soldiers to the Russian Federation, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereschuk has said.
"We appeal to the International Red Cross. We ask the International Red Cross to help take the bodies of dead Russian soldiers to the Russian Federation. These are thousands of bodies of invaders. This is a humanitarian need, and we ask that the bodies of Russian invaders leave the territory of Ukraine and go to Russian Federation," Vereschuk said at a briefing on Saturday.
She noted the importance of knowing in Russia about the number of soldiers killed in Ukraine.
"We appeal to the Russians: make sure that there are fewer bodies of your sons and husbands, otherwise there will be thousands of them," Vereschuk added.
