The purpose of this initiative is stated to be the conduct of a humanitarian action. The Russian military department emphasized that they are ready to carry out the transfer of the bodies of deceased Ukrainian servicemen in this settlement.
To coordinate the conditions for the action, Moscow has set strict time frames, expecting an official response from the Ukrainian side through existing channels of special services by 12:00 Moscow time (13:00 Baku time) on July 5, 2026.
