It will take Ukraine 14 months to identify the bodies of the deceased Ukrainian citizens transferred by the Russian Federation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was stated by<\/a> the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko during a telethon.<\/p>\n

The minister noted that as part of the recent exchanges, 6,060 bodies of citizens killed in the war, including defense personnel, were returned.<\/p>\n

“Each package we receive may contain not just one body, but many remains of bodies, of one, two or three people. During the examination, we began to discover [fragments] of the body of one person in several packages or in different repatriations. The enemy is trying to do everything to complicate our work and delay time,” he says.<\/p>\n

Klymenko stressed that forensic experts, investigators and other services are working in three shifts to identify the deceased Ukrainians as soon as possible. The final stage of this work is to identify a person’s DNA profile. The Minister of Internal Affairs noted that specialists will need at least 13-14 months for full identification.<\/p>\n

We will remind you that, as a result of the repatriation measures carried out , the bodies of 1,200 deceased were returned to Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

As reported, Ukraine returned the bodies of 1,212 fallen defenders from various directions<\/a> , including Kursk.<\/p>\n
