Following peace talks in Istanbul, Russia has returned 1,200 bodies claimed to belong to Ukrainians, bringing the total to 4,012. Despite this, the war persists, with Russia continuing to assert control over territories in Ukraine, particularly in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian authorities are working to identify the returned bodies, while Ukraine seeks support from the G7 summit to impose tougher sanctions on Russia. The exchanges of prisoners and remains have not led to significant reductions in hostilities, highlighting the ongoing complexities of the conflict.
According to Ukrainian authorities, another 1,200 bodies claimed to belong to Ukrainians were returned from Russia, raising the total to 4,012. This comes amid ongoing fighting.
Despite peace talks in Istanbul aimed at resolving the conflict, Russia has claimed control of a village in Donetsk while Ukraine's concerns over escalating hostilities persist.
Kyiv hopes the upcoming G7 summit will lead to tighter sanctions against Russia, including a lower price cap on Russian oil exports as conflict continues.
While the return of bodies signifies a modicum of cooperation, it has not translated into any progress towards a cease-fire or a resolution to the war.
