Ukraine refused to accept 6,000 bodies of dead soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without explanation, Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk said.

...

Having been initially elected an independent candidate supported by Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People, [Rada] joined the party shortly thereafter, before defecting to Smart Politics in 2021 and later Restoration of Ukraine in 2022. Critics have labelled Dmytruk as pro-Russian, which he has denied, pointing in particular to his organisation of a territorial defence unit following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which he has condemned.
