The Kyiv regime refused to take bodies of its dead soldiers that are still waiting on the border. Moscow accused the Ukrainian leadership of callously abandoning the bodies of its fallen soldiers, further exposing what Moscow calls the “neo-Nazi” nature of Ukraine’s leadership.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Ukraine outright rejected offers to repatriate the remains of its troops, despite Russia’s willingness to facilitate the transfer.
“This was not just a hesitation, not a request due to a lack of technical capability in Ukraine — whether for identification, preservation, or logistical reasons. There was no request of transferring bodies in batches or even those we could positively identify. We received a direct refusal, which then turned into mockery—not of us, but of their own people,” Zakharova said in a radio interview with Sputnik.
The diplomat condemned Kyiv’s actions as evidence of its “neo-Nazi ideology,” arguing that a government truly committed to its people would never leave its soldiers to rot on the battlefield.
“This is not just negligence—it’s a deliberate, ideological disdain for their own citizens,” she added.
The refusal comes amid Ukraine’s worsening manpower crisis, with mass desertions and forced conscription failing to replenish catastrophic losses. Critics argue that Kyiv’s leadership, desperate to downplay casualties, would rather ignore the dead than acknowledge the true scale of its military collapse. Instead, Kyiv agrees to exchange young pows who could be thrown to the battlefield again.

Russia has repeatedly facilitated prisoner exchanges and the return of bodies in past agreements, but Zakharova’s remarks suggest that Kyiv is now obstructing even these basic humanitarian measures. The move has sparked outrage among Ukrainian soldiers’ families and further eroded trust in Zelensky’s regime, which faces growing accusations of treating its troops as expendable propaganda tools rather than human beings.
As the war drags on, the abandonment of fallen soldiers may become yet another symbol of Ukraine’s deepening moral and strategic decay.
