The Ukrainian army has finally received the first batch of 1212 bodies of their fallen soldiers, while the Russian trucks transporting the bodies of the fallen Ukrainian soldiers have been waiting at the Bryansk border for a week. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army handed over 27 bodies of fallen Russian soldiers to the Russian side. The ratio is significantly different, although this ratio cannot represent the true ratio of casualties between both sides, it can be seen that the number of casualties on the Ukrainian side far exceeds that of the Russian side. The Russian side stated that the number of fallen Ukrainian soldiers' bodies handed over to the Ukrainian authorities exceeded 6000, and the remaining will be transported in batches by three trains. The Ukrainian side did not inform how many Russian soldiers' bodies they would hand over, but regardless of the quantity, they would receive and bury them as soon as possible.
Previously, Ukraine's refusal to receive the bodies of fallen soldiers caused great controversy, and eventually, under various pressures, they still proceeded with the reception. Ukrainian political scientist Zotalikov expressed concern about this body exchange, believing that the Russians would hand over more fallen Ukrainian soldiers' bodies to Ukraine, which would deplete Ukraine's treasury.
Personally, no matter what, the Ukrainian authorities should actively receive these fallen soldiers' bodies and bury them as soon as possible. As for compensation, if the finances are tight, they can be paid in installments, or land can be used to settle debts for the soldiers' families, or various mineral resources can be used to settle debts with Western countries. Why can't various resources be used to compensate the families of fallen soldiers?
