The Coordination Headquarters emphasizes that the identification of these bodies as Ukrainian is based solely on information from Russian sources.

Upcoming actions will involve forensic examinations and identification of the bodies by law enforcement agencies in collaboration with expert institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
