Ukraine asks Red Cross to take away bodies of Russian soldiers --- The minister emphasizes that the Russian Federation needs to know how many such bodies and how many occupants lie on Ukrainian soil today

Deputy Prime Minister - Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk addressed the International Committee of the Red Cross with a request to remove the bodies of Russian soldiers from Ukraine. She said this during a briefing.

“We ask that the International Red Cross help transport out the bodies of Russian soldiers to the Russian Federation. Here are thousands of bodies of the occupants, this is a humanitarian need, and we ask that the bodies of the Russian occupiers leave the territory of Ukraine and go to the Russian Federation,” Vereshchuk said.

“Red Cross, do everything in your power to solve this humanitarian problem. We once again appeal to the Russians to make it so that the bodies of your sons and your husbands decrease. Otherwise, there will be thousands of them. I ask you that again. Victory will be ours,” Vereshchuk noted.

Earlier, martial law was imposed in Ukraine after the Russian invasion. At 5 a.m. on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a special operation in Donbas following a request for military assistance from the "DNR"/"LNR" groups, which he had previously "recognized."

President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree on total mobilization. Western countries have begun imposing new sanctions on Russia over its attack on Ukraine.

The humanitarian needs in Ukraine are increasing every hour. At least 100 thousand Ukrainians left their homes.

That must mean the Ukraine is in control of the areas where the dead Russians are. Take pics. It’s the proof needed. Are the Russians succeeding? Think of the time the attack takes. Longer will be on the side of the locals.

The best hope for the Ukrainians is for Byedone to leave this planet.

2 military transport planes were shot down. At least hundreds of Russian soldiers have bodies that need to be taken away by the Red Cross. Hopefully there will be a public count of the bodies.

Don’t do it. It is not in the best interest of either the Ukraine or Russia to clean up their handiwork. Easing the pains of war do not make it less hurtful, just easier to accomplish. This is why war is detestable and happens in so few cases among countries that are run in a non-aggressive attitude of using force over reason and care. Let them sit as a display of greed and evil and not trophies.

I thought the Russians had mobile crematoria for the bodies of fallen soldiers?

Maybe that was just another lie spread so that Ukraine could claim massive victories without physical evidence.

Does Ukraine not have wood chippers?

Spray them across the fields. Let Russian mothers and wives wonder what happened to them.

Are there photos of the downed transport planes?

One of the photos shown of a downed plane turned out to be Ukrainian, not Russian.

A pile of 3500 dead Russians should be easy to spot. But come to think of it where are all the photos of that big pile of bodies? 🤔

In fact, I have seen exactly one damaged helicopter which is definitely Russian, and one bombed-out logistic convoy which is most likely Russian.
Also, dozens of bombed-out Ukrainian convoys and isolated vehicles which the Ukrainian propaganda claims are Russian, except they are obviously not.
There are definitely losses on both sides, but you don’t see the Ukrainian military active anywhere.
The government is trying to agitate Volksturm types to throw molotovs and hands out guns to total strangers by the thousands.
Mayor of Kiev already told “delf-defense” to stop shooting each other. On top of that the government said that there are Russian saboteurs in civilian clothes and Ukrainian uniforms. You can guess what sort of confusion it produces with Volksturm types.

I think that would be against Geneva Conventions if the Ukraine government were to that.

I saw where they released videos of POW on the Internet the other day that is a violation.

This is a very smart move by Ukraine.

I gotta say from surfing around Russian social media, there is a very significant percentage of Russians who believe that all of these reports of Russian casualties and Ukrainian opposition is fake news by Ukrainian nazis, that Putin’s troops are being received as liberators.

But if the International Red Cross goes in and starts dealing with these thousands of dead Russian bodies, that might shock them out of this spell the pro-Putin media in Russia has them under as to what is really happening with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

There’s no big pile of bodies because 3500 Russians aren’t dead anymore than there’s a full on assault of Kiev going on. I just looked at the live cams again an hour ago. Zippo happening.

It’s all globalist press BS. They are putting up footage of outdated hardware that isn’t even being used anymore by the Russian military. The whole thing is so pathetic the DOW is up 800 points.

When the deep state is howling somebody is doing something right.

Do you think the Nazis care about Geneva convention? They killed 14,000 civilians in Donbas since 2014 saying they are repelling “Russian invasion” and not a word from international community, except sanctions piled up on Russia for fake invasion.
Now it finally took place and everybody scream bloody murder.

The Russians plan to cremate the bodies so their families won’t know they were killed in combat. This is Russian SOP from the 2016-2019 skirmishes in the Donbas involving Russian conscripts, whose mothers objected loudly to their sons being killed attacking some other country.
