There are dead soldiers in all units: marines, police, SBU, border guards, it will take a lot of time to personally get to know each defender.
During the two exchanges of bodies of the dead, Ukraine received the bodies of 220 Mariupol defenders at the Azovstal plant – steps have already begun in Kyiv to identify the dead, says the former commander of the Azov Regiment (2016-2017) Maxim Zhorin.
“I can’t say much in detail, but I can share some information. There have been two exchanges of corpses of the dead: the first was 160: 160 … In the second exchange, we have recently been able to exchange and take almost “60 bodies … Almost the same number of corpses need to be returned. Almost the same number of corpses in Mariupol. Processes are underway, negotiations are underway for further exchange and repatriation,” Zhorin said.
Among those killed who have been replaced, about a third are “Azov”, said the former commander.
There were dead soldiers in all units: sailors, police, SBU, border guards. This can be understood from the clothes and chevron, but it will take a lot of time to personally get to know each defender.
“Absolutely all the bodies of the Ukrainian dead (who have been restored) are already in Kyiv – and now a very difficult task is beginning to identify the bodies. Most of these bodies are in a horrible that state and it’s impossible to see them visually, ”Zhorin said.
According to him, complex tests need to be carried out, the identification process can take several months. Azov’s patronage service tries to speed up and facilitate the identification work.
Recall that on the night of May 16, began an operation to rescue the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Azovstal. The first 264 Ukrainian soldiers were taken from the territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant in Mariupol to communities not controlled by Kyiv: 53 seriously wounded were taken to a hospital in Novoazovsk, the remaining 211 in Yelenovka. For further return of the warriors, an exchange procedure will be carried out.
