Kiev had refused to accept the bodies of its dead soldiers on Saturday, claiming it did not agree on the date of the transfer
The first batch of 1,212 bodies of dead Ukrainian servicemen has been delivered to the exchange point and is ready to be handed over to Kiev, the Russian Defense Ministry has said.
Moscow had decided to return the bodies of over 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers in a unilateral humanitarian gesture during talks between the two sides in Istanbul on Monday. The Russians tried transferring the remains on Saturday, but Kiev's representatives failed to show up at the exchange point on the border between Belarus and Ukraine.
