Russia and Ukraine exchange 1k Soldier Bodies


Russia and Ukraine exchanged the bodies of more than 1,000 of their soldiers killed in the war, officials from both countries said Thursday.

Russia returned the bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers while receiving the bodies of 24 Russian soldiers in exchange, lower-house State Duma lawmaker Shamsail Saraliyev told the RBC news website.

Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War confirmed the exchange, saying it would work to identify the bodies it received.

Neither Saraliyev nor Ukraine’s POW agency indicated whether the swap was carried out as part of agreements reached during Russian-Ukrainian peace talks held in Istanbul earlier this summer.

Moscow and Kyiv agreed during those talks in June to a large-scale prisoner swap and to exchange the bodies of thousands of soldiers. The sides, however, failed to reach a ceasefire deal.

Russia and Ukraine already carried out two body exchanges in August and July.

The repatriation of fallen soldiers and the exchange of prisoners of war have been one of the few areas of cooperation between the warring sides since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

  The Quiet Power of Micro-Moments: How Small Interactions Shape Big Outcomes In a world obsessed with productivity hacks, grand gestures, and “life-changing” strategies, it’s easy to overlook the tiny fragments of time that quietly shape our days — micro-moments. A micro-moment isn’t about sitting down for an hour-long conversation or scheduling a grand event. It’s those fleeting seconds when you make eye contact, send a quick “thinking of you” message, or hold the door open for someone. On their own, they seem insignificant. But stitched together, micro-moments create the fabric of relationships, trust, and even opportunity. What Exactly Is a Micro-Moment? Psychologists often describe micro-moments as brief, high-value interactions that create connection. They can last just five to thirty seconds, but in that sliver of time, emotions transfer, trust builds, and bonds deepen. Think about: The barista who remembers your name. A colleague who smiles at you before a stressful meeting...

  The Code of a Modern Man Being a man is not just about appearances, strength, or status—it’s about living with integrity, responsibility, and respect. In a world filled with distractions and shifting values, certain principles stand as timeless reminders of what defines true masculinity. 1. Respect Boundaries If a woman says no, back off immediately. Nothing shows character more than respecting someone’s decision without pressure or argument. 2.

Take Care of What You Value Maintaining your bike, your car, or even your tools is not a liability—it’s a necessity. Responsibility begins with caring for what you own. 4. Respect Relationships A friend’s partner is always off-limits. Loyalty to your brotherhood should outweigh fleeting temptation. 5. Guide the Younger Ones Correct men younger than you when they stumble. Leadership i...
