Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia handed over 21 bodies in a recent exchange—20 of them were Russian soldiers, and one a foreign mercenary.
Speaking to reporters Saturday, Zelenskyy accused Moscow of lying, saying the bodies were passed off as fallen Ukrainian troops. “This lie is documented; some of the bodies even had Russian passports,” he said, without specifying when or where the swap took place.

He noted that $43 billion has already been allocated this year for Ukraine’s defense industry, and called on allied nations to commit 0.25% of their GDP to Ukraine’s security next year.
