Ukraine Repatriates 503 Fallen Soldiers
On December 20th, Ukraine repatriated 503 fallen soldiers from Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk oblasts, and morgues in Russia, fulfilling the Geneva Conventions’ mandate for dignified burials. This operation, involving multiple government agencies and the ICRC, brought the total number of identified fallen soldiers to over 2,800. The recovered remains will undergo identification by law enforcement and forensic experts. President Zelensky previously reported approximately 43,000 Ukrainian soldier deaths since the full-scale invasion began.
