During a recent ceasefire, the bodies of deceased individuals were retrieved from the morgue at Oleshky hospital in Kherson region, Ukraine. Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, disclosed this information during a press conference. According to Lubinets, an agreement has been reached with the Russian side, which mandates that all bodies whose relatives are based in Ukraine will be transferred to Ukrainian-controlled territory.

Lubinets highlighted this agreement on Monday. The repatriation efforts conducted in Oleshky and the surrounding areas have led to the recovery of both military personnel and civilian bodies. Lubinets pointed out that the same routes Ukraine routinely employs for its monthly repatriation operations will be utilized to return the deceased.
