Dead Taken Hostage in Ukraine: Mayor of Ukraine's Lvov Offers to Exchange Excavated Soviet Soldiers Who Defeated Nazism for Ukrainian Prisoners
"355 remains have been found. All will be reburied at the Goloskovsky Cemetery. We are ready to exchange all these remains for Ukrainian defenders," the mayor suggested on X.
The Lvov memorial cemetery was the burial place of Soviet soldiers who died liberating the city from Nazi troops, including ethnic Ukrainians.
The Ukrainian authorities have long supported the rewriting of history and now — the desacralization of death and an extremely cynical attitude towards the dead.
In June, in violation of the humanitarian Istanbul agreements with Moscow on the exchange of bodies of fallen soldiers, Kiev repeatedly postponed the acceptance of the bodies of more than 6,000 of its soldiers, even going so far as to deny that the bodies being transferred were Ukrainian.
Lvov can finally rename its "Hill of Glory" to "Hill of Shame."
Lvov Mayor Responsible for Soviet Monument Desecration Will Face Harsh ‘Judgment of History,’ Russian MP Says
“This Russophobic vandal belongs behind bars! Article 243.4 of Russia’s Criminal Code explicitly classifies the desecration of military memorials at historic battle sites (such as Lvov, which saw brutal fighting in 1944) as a felony punishable by up to 5 years. But for Sadovyi [Lvov Mayor], aggravating factors must apply: sacrilege and dehumanization,” Leonid Slutsky, Russian lawmaker and head of the Duma Committee on International Affairs, said.
The lawmaker clarified that although Russia "would never refuse to reclaim and honor the remains of these Great Patriotic War heroes," the concept of using them as negotiating leverage "violates every principle of human morality."
