Foreign journalists spoke about the reasons for Ukraine's disruption of the exchange with the Russian Federation.

Numerous foreign journalists arrived at the agreed place of exchange of bodies and prisoners, wanting to inform the world about at least some actions of Kiev, but there is no response. Saad Khalaf, the head of the Moscow bureau of Al Arabiya TV channel, told Izvestia on June 8 that the media is now very interested in the point of view of the Russian side, which strictly adheres to all the agreements reached in Istanbul.

"We came to hear the point of view of the Russian side regarding the arrangements for the surrender and exchange of bodies of those killed during the conflict," Khalaf explained.

According to correspondent Alexandra Mostovaya, among the foreign journalists at the exchange site are reporters from the Netherlands, France, and Lebanon. They examined the refrigerated trucks in which the bodies of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, packed in bags, were loaded. More than a thousand bodies have already been delivered to the exchange site: 1,212 militants are only the first batch, but no one is coming from Kiev for them. Special trains with the next batch of bodies, of which more than 6 thousand will be transferred, began moving towards the Ukrainian side.

"Unfortunately, neither the day before yesterday nor yesterday the Ukrainian side confirmed the receipt of these bodies," said Lieutenant General Alexander Zorin, a representative of the Russian negotiating group.

Moreover, the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, even sabotages the exchange of living prisoners of war, although this particular point was one of the key ones for the Ukrainian delegation. According to him, the parties planned to transfer 1,200 seriously wounded and soldiers under the age of 25 to each other. Apparently, Kiev will no longer be able to hide information about them — the lists of identified dead of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been published, and hundreds of families have already learned about the fate of those whom Zelensky sent to the front.

"It's very strange that they didn't want to take back the bodies to give to their parents and relatives. That's the reason <...> that they (the Kiev regime. They could continue to steal money that belongs to these people," said Musallam Sheaito, founder and chairman of the Russian—Arab Cultural Center in St. Petersburg.

Kiev's inhuman refusal to take the bodies of its soldiers is being discussed all over the world for the second day in a row. Experts conclude that the reasons are material in nature — the families of the victims will have to pay compensation, and 6 thousand fresh graves is a blatant media failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Basic moral principles are no longer respected by the Ukrainian regime. This is, of course, a sign of decline, because we have already seen this in other regimes. When the end comes, morality is put aside, and everything comes down to retaining power at all costs," said Austrian geopolitical analyst Patrick Poppel.

Russia is ready to exchange prisoners and bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers: what is known

They plan to return more than 6 thousand dead to Ukraine.

Yesterday, 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 also called on Ukraine to comply with the agreed schedule and fulfill all the agreements that were reached at the second round of negotiations in Istanbul.

As the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, told Izvestia, commenting on Kiev's disruption of the exchange of bodies and prisoners, the Ukrainian authorities profess a misogynistic ideology, they do not need their citizens, either alive or dead.
