⌨Russian media reports Ukraine unexpectedly failed to retrieve bodies of fallen soldiers and postponed a prisoner exchange that was scheduled for today. Russian officials claim they were prepared to return 6,000 Ukrainian bodies and had provided a list of 640 prisoners for exchange, but Ukraine withdrew without explanation (Kommersant, Lenta.ru, RBC.ru, TASS, Vesti, RT).

⌨Russian media continues extensive coverage of Ukraine's refusal to retrieve bodies of fallen soldiers, with multiple outlets now publishing specific lists of 640 identified Ukrainian servicemen whose remains Kiev allegedly abandoned (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, RIA Novosti, Lenta.ru).
