Russia and Ukraine swap hundreds of deceased soldiers’ remains
Russia and Ukraine agreed Friday to swap deceased soldiers’ remains, allowing each country to recover their bodies for proper burial.
Approximately 132 soldiers were repatriated to their home countries after being killed in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Government agencies in both countries worked with the Red Cross to arrange the mutual exchange.

Ukraine’s forces have racked up notable success against Russia’s fearsome Black Sea fleet, leading to increased grain exports despite pessimistic expectations from allies.
Western attention has largely focused on the results of Ukraine’s much-touted and discussed counteroffensive, which failed to produce the gains that many had anticipated. Instead, Ukraine has quietly worked on securing relatively safe exports through the Black Sea, ensuring that grain shipments continue during wartime.
The United Nations brokered a deal in July 2022 to ensure that the «breadbasket of Europe,» responsible for 30% of the global grain supply, would continue to ship vital grains despite a Russian blockade.

The deal collapsed one year later, and Russia started hitting grain silos, leaving many in fear of a food shortage crisis. However, as it had done throughout the conflict, Ukraine refused to simply fold to Moscow’s pressure and worked tirelessly to create alternative means of shipment.
