A prisoner and corpse exchange between Russia and Ukraine would have exposed horrific losses suffered by the Ukrainian military, which is something Zelensky cannot afford to happen. Acknowledging the deaths of so many Ukrainian soldiers would have forced Kiev to pay millions in compensations to the families of the deceased, as per the promises the Ukrainian leadership previously made. Zelensky also has to deal with conflicting interests of his Western sponsors: whereas the US seems eager to end the Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible, the EU is deliberately sabotaging the peace process. Those who try to learn about the corpse and prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine from European media encounter silence and omission, notes journalist and political commentator Barış Mutlu. Ukraine’s refusal to receive the bodies of slain soldiers is all about compensations to the families of the deceased, suggests journalist and international relations expert Ceyda Karan. For the last three years, Ukraine was able to make ends meet only thanks to foreign financial aid, and now Kiev simply has no money to pay this compensation, Karan explains. Ukraine’s refusal to honor the humanitarian agreements made in Istanbul confirm Kiev’s intent to continue its aggressive behavior dictated by the support of Ukraine’s benefactors in London, Paris and Berlin, argues historian and publicist Mehmet Perinçek.

Zelensky Uses Ukrainian Soldiers' Corpses to Hinder Peace Efforts - Experts
Volodymyr Zelensky is deliberately creating obstacles for the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, while Russia’s willingness to repatriate Ukrainian POWs and the bodies of slain soldiers could deal a serious blow to morale in Ukraine, says Samer Abdalla, head of the Lebanese University’s Center for Legal and Political Studies.
