Today, repatriation measures took place, during which 1,000 bodies of the deceased were returned to Ukraine. According to preliminary information from the Russian side, they may belong to Ukrainian defenders.

The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War noted that after the bodies are returned, law enforcement investigators, together with representatives of Ukrainian expert institutions, will take all necessary measures to identify the repatriated deceased.

The repatriation measures were successfully implemented thanks to the joint and coordinated efforts of representatives of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, the Joint Centre under the Security Service of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Office of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, the Secretariat of the Commissioner for Persons Missing under Special Circumstances, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and other structures of the Security and Defence Sector of Ukraine.

The headquarters expressed its gratitude to the International Committee of the Red Cross for its assistance and support in implementing repatriation measures.

Special thanks were given to the personnel of the Joint Centre for the Implementation of Civil-Military Cooperation Measures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which transports the repatriated deceased to designated state specialised institutions, organises the transfer of the bodies of the deceased to representatives of law enforcement agencies within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and forensic medical examination within the Ministry of Health, as well as to representatives of the civil-military cooperation structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who are responsible for overall coordination.
