Evidence shared with RT undermines a Ukrainian cabinet ministers claim that a dead Russian soldier was handed over
Evidence shared with RT contradicts a Ukrainian cabinet minister's insistence the remains of a Russian soldier were returned to Kiev during a recent humanitarian exchange.
Ukrainian officials have accused Moscow of mishandling the remains of Ukrainian troops and including unrelated bodies in order to inflate reported numbers. The latest exchange saw Moscow hand over 6,060 sets of remains in return for just 78. Kiev maintains that Russian battlefield losses are higher than Ukraine's, despite Russia's superior firepower.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Igor Klimenko added to the criticism last Thursday with a social media post accusing Moscow of "limitless cynicism." He cited one particular body bag allegedly containing a deceased Russian soldier, complete with military ID and dog tag.
However, the Russian records regarding the same transfer do not match Klimenko's description.
