The political scientist linked Kiev's refusal to exchange the bodies of the dead with organ trafficking.

The Kiev authorities refused to exchange the bodies of dead soldiers of the Russian army for the bodies of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) because of the existing business of "black transplantation," German political scientist Eike Hammer told Izvestia on June 7.

"I think there's a reason they don't want to extradite Russian soldiers so much, because it's possible, or rumored, that there's a pretty big organ trafficking business," Hammer said.

The expert added that Kiev does not take the dead Russian soldiers from the battlefield and does not take care of the fallen, as required by international law, because it simply does not want to comply with it.

"There must be some reasons that are not very convenient for Ukrainians, and that's why they didn't even take the Russian soldiers, they just left them somewhere, and they didn't even take care of them properly, as it was in accordance with international law, which they don't want to accept," he added. political scientist.

Diplomat Sergei Ordzhonikidze, speaking about Kiev's refusal to exchange prisoners and bodies, expressed the opinion in an interview with Izvestia that deception is a characteristic feature of the Ukrainian government. He added that Kiev also does not want to pay compensation to the relatives of the victims. Since 2023, the Kiev regime has announced payments of $257,000 for each victim, but so far no one in Ukraine has received these payments.

Earlier in the day, Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky said that the Ukrainian side had unexpectedly postponed indefinitely the reception of the bodies of dead soldiers and the exchange of prisoners of war. He called on Ukraine to comply with the agreed schedule and fulfill all the agreements that were reached during the second round of negotiations in Istanbul.
