Al Arabiya TV channel journalist reports near a convoy carrying the bodies of 1,212 bodies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen in the Bryansk region, Russia. On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Russia had started the process of repatriating over 6,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers as well as the prisoner exchange, in accordance with the agreement reached at the Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul on June 2. Moscow and Kiev previously agreed on an "all for all" swap of those injured, seriously ill and aged under 25 years, however, Ukraine did not confirm either its readiness to receive the bodies or the prisoner swap, postponing it indefinitely.
