The number of dead servicemen in the aggressor's army is tens of thousands. This was stated by Vice Prime Minister - Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk on the air of the information telethon.

However, the Russian Federation does not advertise these figures and body exchanges, and generally tries in every possible way to block reports of losses..

“They do not advertise because the losses are very high. It's tens of thousands. I am convinced that I know for sure that they are suffering huge losses.. Of course, propaganda and the block posed on these questions does not allow everyone in Russia to find out about this.. But the mothers and relatives of military personnel can already be convinced in practice what the “Russian world” is: when coffins come to them or even don’t reach them, they can’t talk about it, they are intimidated, ”said Vereshchuk.

Some mothers of Russian soldiers turn to the Ukrainian side in search of the bodies of their children, however, their number is insignificant - in most cases in the Russian Federation they are not allowed to do this.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, unlike Russia, Ukraine carries out identification and conducts genetic examination according to European protocols.

Vereshchuk said that more than 400 bodies have already been returned, this process continues. Assistance provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

“Today I met with them again and we worked out how to do so in order to return the bodies of their loved ones to our Ukrainian families for burial according to Christian traditions,” she stressed..

As the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported, as of July 6, Russia lost 36,500 of its military in the war against Ukraine..

Two days ago, Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, said that Russia had lost between 95,000 and 115,000 of its military in the war against Ukraine in killed and wounded..

The process of returning the bodies of the dead Ukrainian military continues, several exchanges have already taken place.

In particular, on June 28, another operation was carried out in the Zaporozhye region to return the bodies of the dead Ukrainian servicemen..
