[ColonelCassad] Today, the next monthly exchange of bodies of fallen soldiers took place.
252 bodies were handed over to Ukraine, 23 were returned to Russia. Over the entire period of exchanges, a total of 26,491 bodies were handed over to Ukraine, and 3,561 to Russia.
The ratio of the number of bodies transferred for all exchanges is 7.44 to 1, and since the beginning of 2026 - 19 to 1.
Summary of the exchange of bodies of the dead between Russia and Ukraine for September 17, 2026.
It is worth noting that the enemy has been constantly broadcasting in its propaganda in recent months that it is advancing there, recapturing tens and even hundreds of kilometers, but the ratio of losses during exchanges still does not change.
Accordingly, the exchanges show that the majority of "Ukrainian Armed Forces offensives" exist primarily in virtual space, while the exchanges of the dead indicate that the same dynamics of losses are maintained.
