🇺🇦 ZELENSKY’S BODY IDENTIFICATION SCAM: Only 20 bodies identified out of 6000! Zelensky drags out the body identification, to not pay billions. Ukraine will default if they would identify and pay out all families! -> Ukrainian blogger and entrepreneur Vladimir Panchak said that relatives of the deceased, whom Russia handed over to Ukraine, came to his broadcast and said that out of the first batch of deceased handed over by Russia to Ukraine (six thousand), only 20 bodies have been identified in six months. And that identifying the rest of the bodies will take years and decades.

‼️ Near Odessa, a train carrying 2,000 corpses of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel has been standing for nearly a year. Almost a year later, authorities have still been unable to locate relatives for identification purposes, so the bodies remain unclaimed. This is stated in a report by the French television channel RFI, as cited by PolitNavigator: "Despite the frost, a smell of decomposition emanates from the railcars," the journalists note. According to Ruslan Kryvda, head of the molecular-genetic examination department, the difficulty lies in the fact that remains often arrive in bulk batches containing body parts of multiple individuals: "Most often, the corpses are skeletonized. We also work with bodies that are in a frozen state; there are corpses in a state of mummification and adipocere formation." Serhiy Yemets, Deputy Head of the Odesa Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination, adds: "The first bodies were delivered in April 2025. We understand that nearly a year will soon have passed. Each body will be stored until identification is complete and the service member's name is established. All procedural actions regarding them have already been carried out; we are only awaiting a match and are ready to release each service member, to restore their name." Over the past year, 2,800 bodies have passed through the Odessa bureau; two thousand of them still lie in refrigerated railcars, awaiting identification.

31 years after the Srebrenica genocide, grieving families in Bosnia lay to rest 10 newly identified victims. Clothed in traditional green shrouds, the coffins are carried by mourners to the Potocari Memorial Cemetery on the anniversary of the July 1995 genocide. The victims, ranging from 20 to 56 years old, are among the more than 8,300 Bosniak men and boys systematically killed by Bosnian Serb forces. Decades on, forensic teams continue the painstaking work of identifying fragmented remains scattered across mass graves, offering delayed closure to families who have waited a lifetime to say goodbye
