#Repatriation

Ukraine has returned over 26,000 bodies of fallen soldiers but faces delays in their identification. Authorities are preparing solutions to speed up procedures.

PM Koretsky ordered Ukrainian agencies to prepare a plan within a week to accelerate the identification of repatriated bodies. Over 600 million hryvnias are allocated in the 2027 budget to equip 21 forensic medical bureaus.

Ukrainian drone operator Roman, who had been transferred to Belgium for treatment of his burns, has died. The body has already been repatriated to Ukraine, announced Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken.

🇺🇦 The Coordination Headquarters confirmed the repatriation of 261 bodies of deceased military personnel. The operation took place through the "Nova Huta" checkpoint with the mediation of the ICRC. 🔍 A strict audit is ahead: — Total DNA examination. — Check for mines and explosive devices. — Exclusion of forgery (mixing of bodies). ⚠️ The Ombudsman reported 375 deaths in captivity. Part of the bodies from the new batch may become the evidentiary basis for international investigations. The identification process may take months due to the overload of laboratories.
