Ukraine recalls dead from Azovstal as Mariupol siege unravels
Dozens of Ukrainian fighters killed at the Azovstal steelworks near Mariupol have had their bodies moved to Kyiv for DNA identification. Ukrainian officials say more than 2,500 fighters from the plant are held by Russia, while Russia presses to capture Sievierodonetsk and Zaporizhzhia. The exchange of 320 bodies, with 160 returned to each side, marked the first official military death swap since the war began. Families described the recovery process and expressed hope for proper burials as Zelenskyy warned of continued threats in the southeast.
