Ukraine will repatriate the same number of bodies of its defenders from Russia - 757 - due to the available number of specialized vehicles.

This was stated in an interview with Ukrinform by Bohdan Okhrimenko, head of the secretariat of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

“The answer is as simple as possible: we used the available opportunities to transport our fallen heroes. The body has its own certain volume and there is a corresponding number of specialized vehicles that can transport our fallen heroes. We were asked: 'How many bodies can you take,' and we said that this is the number,” Okhrimenko said.
