Kyiv said yesterday that it had received from Russia 1,000 remains of people that Moscow said were Ukrainian soldiers killed fighting the Kremlin’s army. The exchange of prisoners of war and the remains of killed soldiers is one of the few remaining areas of cooperation between Kyiv and Moscow, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky confirmed an exchange had taken place, writing on Telegram that the Russian side had received the remains of 38 killed Russian soldiers. Meanwhile, EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas warned yesterday that Ukraine was facing a “humanitarian catastrophe” as Russian strikes cut power in frigid winter conditions. Kallas said that despite US-led talks to end the war in Abu Dhabi Russia was “bombing Ukrainians, trying to bomb and freeze them to surrender”.
