The Ombudsman reported that today, according to the head of the Ministry of Health, more than 2,800 bodies and fragments have been identified. The process of finding their relatives to come home for the funeral continues.
According to government officials, relatives could not find the bodies of the defenders because they had not been handed over to the Ukrainian side. However, the process of repatriation of corpses takes place and is reported to the public.
We remind you that on February 16, Ukraine and Russia exchanged the bodies of the dead. The bodies of 58 defenders were returned to territory controlled by the Ukrainian government.
