'They Don't Have the Money': Why is Kiev Not Taking Back Soldiers' Bodies?
"The Zelensky regime has to pay around $3,000 per soldier, per family, so imagine if they take all 6,000 bodies back," said Sonja van den Ende, a Dutch independent journalist who works with Freesuriyah and Devend Online, in an interview with Sputnik Africa.
Accepting such a large number of bodies, implying there are more, could discredit the Kiev regime, which is downplaying its military losses, noted Van den Ende, who is in the Bryansk region, where Russia is expecting to hand over the bodies to Ukraine.
She described the situation as "terrible," adding that not bringing the bodies back is a crime.
