Zelenskyy on Soldier Repatriation: 'We Must Bring Back Every Hero'

Ukraine's President Zelenskyy addressed the nation on the ongoing efforts to recover the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers killed in the conflict with Russia. He stated that only 15% of the 6,000 Russian soldiers' remains that were exchanged have been identified. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of retrieving all Ukrainian soldiers' remains, saying, "It's crucial that we bring back every single one of our fallen heroes." The president also noted a previous exchange where both Ukrainian and Russian casualties were returned simultaneously, suggesting inconsistencies in the process. The video conference footage included in the TikTok video underscores the gravity of the situation and the emotional toll it takes on those involved. The Ukrainian government's commitment to the repatriation of its soldiers' remains remains a top priority.
