Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk states that the Russian leadership categorically refuses to take its dead servicemen from Ukraine.
"The Russians refuse to even negotiate on this problem. Apparently, believing that the bodies of servicemen of the Russian Federation are not worthy to go to their homeland and be buried in a human way," Vereshchuk is quoted by the press service of the Ministry.
According to her, Russian authorities do not want to take away the bodies of fallen soldiers so that their mothers, wives, and daughters do not learn about the real scale of military operations and human losses.
"Such atrocities against even our own people shock us, of course. But it does not stop our army. We are on our own soil," the official stressed.
