[Report] Russia Refuses To Take Back Fallen Troops; Ukraine Is Forced To Fill Refrigerated Train with Dead Bodies

In Ukraine, a refrigerated train carrying the remains of Vladimir Putin's dead soldiers was videotaped, with gold purportedly plundered from people discovered in their wallets.

The Ukrainian army allowed media access to the carriage near Kyiv, with one colonel telling reporters that Moscow refuses to accept responsibility for its deaths. A mound of bodies in white body bags placed at one end of the carriage was seen on video from inside the train. Morgue employees revealed to reporters gold in the troops' pockets, which had been plundered from Ukrainian people.

Russia Faces Apparent Setbacks

According to Kyiv, more than 25,000 Russian servicemen have been killed since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his forces into Ukraine on February 24. Only about 1,300 deaths have been confirmed by the Kremlin.

The gold jewelry discovered on the Russian victims was shown to Al Jazeera reporters by Ukrainian mortuary personnel. Soldiers are suspected of robbing Ukrainian people. The modest trove contained many golden necklaces and rings.

Putin's army has been accused of looting in Ukraine, while Ukrainian and international prosecutors are probing hundreds of additional possible war crimes committed by Russian soldiers, including mass murder, torture, and rape. On February 24, Russian forces entered Ukraine in what the Kremlin describes as a special military operation to defend Donbass. The campaign is now on its 77th day, Daily Mail reported.

Ukrainian estimates that more than 25,000 Russian servicemen have died in the fighting. According to Russia's Land Forces, 25,500 Russian servicemen have killed in the three-month combat.

Putin's troops have also lost 1130 tanks, 199 aircraft, 156 helicopters, 509 artillery systems, and 2741 armored personnel carriers, according to the report. The Kremlin, on the other hand, has stated that the amount is closer to 1,300 individuals, with no mention of equipment losses.

On Monday, the White House accused Putin of preaching revisionist history during his Victory Day speech. The Russian dictator said that the West had driven Russia into reaction by encroaching on their borders with NATO. Putin's address, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, was revisionist history in the guise of lies, according to Express.

Russian Troops Steal Ukrainian Crops

Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials claim that Russian troops in Ukraine are transferring essential agricultural products to Crimea, adding to their list of grievances against Russian occupiers, while local sympathizers advocate for the country's integration into Russia.

A column of Russian trucks stocked with Ukrainian grain departed the seized town of Enerhodar on Tuesday with a Russian military escort, according to the military administration of the Zaporizhzhia region.

It was reportedly headed towards the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow captured from Ukraine in 2014. Vegetables and sunflower seeds are also stolen, according to the administration. Requests for response were not returned by the Kremlin or the Russian Ministry of Defense, as per Live Mint.

The Russian Ministry of Defense and the Kremlin did not reply to calls for comment. The first war crimes trial of a captured Russian soldier has been revealed by Ukraine's top prosecutor. Sgt. Vadin Shyshimarin, 21, was prosecuted by Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova in the killing of an unarmed 62-year-old civilian who was shot while riding a bicycle with February, four days into the conflict.

Shyshimarin, a tanker, was accused of shooting a guy through a vehicle window in the northeastern village of Chupakhivka. According to Ms. Venediktova, the soldier might spend up to 15 years in prison. She refused to disclose when the trial would begin. Venediktova's agency has investigated over 10,700 suspected Russian war crimes and identified over 600 individuals.

Telegraph reported that many of the alleged crimes were exposed last month as Moscow's soldiers abandoned their attempt to take Kyiv and retreated from the area around the city, uncovering mass graves and dead scattered across streets and yards in villages like Bucha. Murders, burnings, rape, torture, and dismemberment were all reported by residents.
