As the scale of devastation and death in towns around Kyiv emerges, the deputy mayor of Dnipro, in central Ukraine, says the city’s mortuaries are crammed with the unclaimed bodies of Russian soldiers.
Mikhail Lysenko said there were more than 1,500 corpses in four refrigerators, the AFP news agency reported.
He said city officials did not want to cremate or bury them in mass graves.
Lysenko appealed to the mothers of Russian soldiers to speak to their dead sons’ commanders so as to claim back their bodies.
