Russian invaders have returned the bodies of 220 defenders of Mariupol to Ukraine as part of two swaps.
That's according to the Telegram channel Operational ZSU, which refers to a statement by Maksym Zhorin, ex-commander of the Azov Regiment and the head of the Central Staff of the National Corps, Ukrinform reports.
"I can confirm two exchanges - the bodies of 220 dead are already in Kyiv, about a third are Azov fighters, the identification process is underway. Not all details can be disclosed, but some information is already available, which I decided to share," Zhorin said.
He called on the media to spread objective and verified data, as this is a very sensitive topic.
The Associated Press earlier reported that on June 7, the Russian military handed over to Ukraine the first bodies of the fallen defenders of Mariupol.
