Breakdown of the exchange of bodies: the Russian Federation waved from the video with refrigerators allegedly at the meeting place - Yusov

To spread: Russian propagandists have released fake video with refrigerators with the bodies of the dead Ukrainian defenders who allegedly brought to the border, and Kiev refused to pick them up. The deputy chairman of the coordination headquarters on the management of prisoners of war and the representative of the GUR Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov told about it.

"The video published by the enemy is captured today in Russia, not in place and not in the area of ​​exchange," he said. He noted that the video of the Russians is frankly propaganda and is part of a prepared misinformation campaign and IPSO of Russian special services. Its goal is to discredit Ukraine and press on the negotiation group during the preparation of future exchange and repatriation.

Andriy Yusov stressed that despite such open provocations, the preparation for the exchange is ongoing, the result is expected in the near future. He also said that Ukraine has handed Russia lists, but those transferred by Russia did not correspond to the arrangements.

Earlier, the Russian media extended the statements of the head of the Russian negotiation group Vladimir Medinsky, who stated that the bodies of 1212 of the fallen were sent to the area of ​​exchange in refrigerators, but the Ukrainian side allegedly refused to take them and did not arrive at the place of exchange.

The coordination headquarters on the management of prisoners of war stressed that the statements of the Russian Federation, that Ukraine had undergone the exchange of prisoners who had planned for the weekend, and regarding the repatriation of bodies are not true. We will remind that on June 2 it was reported that Russia and Ukraine in negotiations in Istanbul agreed to exchange all seriously wounded and seriously ill -made prisoners of war.
