Russia returns bodies of 1_200 more Ukrainians as part of POW swap

Ukrainian officials say they have received the bodies of 1,200 soldiers from Russia.
It's part of an agreement reached earlier this month during talks in Turkiye.
Russian state media says it's handed back nearly 5,000 bodies overall, but that Ukraine has not reciprocated.
Ukraine's Defence Minister insists 4,812 bodies have been returned to Russia this week.

Al Jazeera’s Assed Baig has more from the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
