As Russian troops retreat into Ukrainian territory, it leaves behind not only the destruction but also its dead soldiers. The gloomy task of identifying and storing them now falls on the shoulders of Ukrainian soldiers.
Colonel Volodymyr Lamzin of the Ukrainian Armed Forces oversees the transfer and storage of the bodies of Russian soldiers found in Ukrainian-controlled territory. “They will be kept here until a decision is taken at international level to return these corpses. The Ukrainian side is ready to return them tomorrow or even today. However, so far there have been no requests from Russia to receive the corpses, “revealed Lamzin.
The colonel said that hundreds of invaders were stored in refrigerated wagons. Ukraine has many such storage sites in general.
“It simply came to our notice then. If it weren’t for a fairy tale, these bodies wouldn’t be here. There are a few hundred corpses here in this refrigerator. This is a fact and proves that they are leaving their own, “said a spokesman for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Forensic experts inspect and identify the occupants’ remains on the spot and determine the cause of death. Although Ukraine is ready to start the process of returning the remains to Russia immediately, no such agreement has been reached.
