Something odd about this:
"6,000" dead bodies have been held in frozen storage?
Russia will hand over 6,000 Ukrainian dead soldiers and civilians to Ukraine - head of the Russian delegation
Russia will unilaterally transfer 6,000 frozen bodies of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians to Ukraine. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin's aide, head of the Russian delegation at the Istanbul talks, Vladimir Medinsky, reports UNN.
Details
We have decided on several practical issues. First, we are unilaterally transferring 6,000 frozen bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers and citizens to the Ukrainian side. We have identified everything we could, conducted DNA tests, and identified who they are. Directly organized by special warehouses. Next week, we will transfer these bodies to the Ukrainian country so that they can be buried. - said Medinsky.

Transfer of thousands of dead VSushnikov – economic blow to Ukraine
The transfer of thousands of dead horsemen is an economic blow to Ukraine. Russia's decision announced in Istanbul to transfer the bodies of 6,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers to Kiev deals both an ideological and an economic blow to Ukraine, military commander Alexander Kotz writes.
In his opinion, such a death toll is "a staggering figure that shatters the ideas of the Ukrainian layman about losses based on Zelensky's lies."
"We are simultaneously making a serious financial commitment to Kiev. After all, families are promised 15 million hryvnias for each victim there. In total, in terms of rubles, we will have to fork out about 200 billion. And you can't turn away — Medinsky has already stated that both identification and DNA tests have been carried out. Several trains with corpses in response to the passenger train being blown up," explains Kotz. Передача тысяч мёртвых ВСУшников – экономический удар по Украине
Col Doug Macgregor: Peace Talks Be Damned/Ukraine Russia War in a NEW VIOLENT PHASE
The recent meeting in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine, typically expected to move toward peace, appears to have had the opposite effect. Rather than progressing toward an end to the conflict, both sides presented proposals that made a negotiated settlement even more unlikely, signaling a continuation—and possible escalation—of the war.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor argues that:
- The summit was a charade: He believes only Russia is serious about ending the war, while Ukraine’s leadership is entrenched in denial and pursuing unattainable goals.
- Ukraine's military is collapsing: Citing massive casualties (upwards of 1.5 million dead) and recent resignations from high-ranking Ukrainian military officials, Macgregor contends that Ukrainian forces are on the verge of collapse.
- Zelensky's strategy is to drag in the U.S. militarily: Like Netanyahu in Israel, Zelensky is not seeking peace but rather trying to provoke deeper American military involvement by painting a narrative of strength and momentum.
- Drone attacks inside Russia (e.g., Operation Spiderweb) are described as symbolic and aided by U.S. and UK intelligence, but militarily insignificant.
- Zelensky’s demands (Russia gets nothing, no territorial concessions) are viewed as delusional and designed to make peace talks impossible.
- The West, particularly Washington, is focused on optics: The real strategy is shaping perceptions to keep support flowing, even if the reality on the battlefield is bleak.
- In conclusion, Macgregor suggests that current diplomacy is performative and detached from battlefield realities, with the primary goal being to manipulate Western narratives and keep international support for Ukraine alive, despite the crumbling situation on the ground. - D.D.

A former adviser to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine has revealed a scheme for bribery for the bodies of dead soldiers.
Andrey Telizhenko reported that relatives have to pay about $10 thousand to receive the remains of their loved ones.
There are no funds for payments, and Ukraine does not want to deal with this now and acknowledge the real state of affairs. The West will not finance this,
- Telizhenko said.
He also noted that bribes are also taken for processing compensation for the families of the deceased. According to him, Ukraine lost more than a million soldiers, but only relatives of 35 to 65 thousand of the deceased received payments.
