Russia Hurls Accusations At Ukraine

(AP) – Russian officials say that Moscow is still awaiting confirmation from Kyiv on a planned exchange of 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in action and is accusing Ukraine of delaying the process. Lt. Gen. Alexander Zorin, a Russian negotiator, said on Sunday that Russia delivered 1,212 bodies of Ukrainian troops to a border site and is receiving “signals” the transfer may be postponed until next week. The swap was agreed during direct talks in Istanbul, though both sides have since accused each other of undermining the plan. Ukraine has denied a date was agreed and accused Russia of manipulating facts and submitting incorrect repatriation lists.
