11:27⇢Bodies exchanged 45-to-1
⌨Russian media reports completion of a major body exchange, with Russia transferring 1,212 Ukrainian military bodies while receiving 27 Russian bodies in return - a stark numerical disparity that multiple state outlets emphasize (Kommersant, Komsomolskaya Pravda, RBC.ru, RIA Novosti, TASS). Military correspondent Koц explains Ukraine had delayed the exchange process, though specific reasons remain unclear from the reporting. This represents the largest body transfer since exchanges began, following previous disputes over collection procedures. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue offensive operations in Dnipropetrovsk region with "Vostok" and "Center" groupings advancing (NTV.ru). Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova states Russia remains seriously committed to continuing Ukraine negotiations, suggesting diplomatic tracks remain active despite military operations (Vesti).
