Russia returns bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian troops
KYIV: Russia on Tuesday returned the bodies of what it said were 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers, five of whom died while in captivity, a Ukrainian government agency said. Ukraine returned the bodies of 19 Russian soldiers in exchange, a Russian official said. Tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed on both sides since Russia invaded its neighbour in February 2022, though neither side regularly publishes data on their own casualties. The exchange of prisoners of war and repatriation of war dead has been one of the few areas of cooperation between the two countries since the war began. The two sides have intensified these efforts in recent months during talks in Istanbul. Focus on security guarantees as Ukraine summit leaves path to peace unclear 'According to the Russian side, 1,000 bodies belonging to Ukrainian military personnel have been returned to Ukraine,' Ukraine's Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War said in a statement on Telegram. 'Unfortunately, among those repatriated are the bodies of five Ukrainian servicemen who died in captivity,' it added. It said law enforcement would begin the process of identifying the soldiers. The exchange was carried out in accordance with agreements reached between the two sides in Istanbul, Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said. Kyiv initially said the two had agreed to 'exchange' the bodies of 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers for as many Russians, though Moscow has always presented the deal as a unilateral decision to repatriate Ukrainians.

Five killed in Russian drone attack on Ukraine apartment block
KYIV: A Russian drone attack on a five-storey apartment block in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv early Monday killed five people and wounded more than a dozen others, Ukrainian authorities said. The attack, which took place just before dawn, reduced part of the building to rubble and sparked fires on at least three floors, the region's governor Oleg Synegubov said on Telegram. Russia fired four drones at the building, he said. Ukraine's state emergency service posted videos showing rescuers attempting to break through the rubble to reach a trapped resident, while another showed a floor in flames. 'Five people were killed, including a girl aged about one-and-a-half years old,' Ukraine's prosecution service said. 'At least 18 people were wounded and suffered acute shock, including children.'
