"I was struck by cynicality": the Russian Federation refused to pick up its dead - Reznikov (video)

According to the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, at last year's negotiations in Belarus Moscow estimated its losses from 10-30 people, while the real figure reached 3000. The delegation of the Russian Federation refused to take the bodies . The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov told this in an interview with journalist Dmitry Komarov. "I was struck by the cynicality of the Russians. The day we were in negotiations, we have already counted about 3,000 killed Russians.

That's a lot," the minister said. Reznikov remembered how he asked the Russian leaders, how they were going to evacuate their dead so that loved ones could bury them. To this end, the head of the Ukrainian Defense Department suggested that you turn to the Red Cross. According to the Minister, members of the delegation of the Russian Federation rejected his proposal, stating that they "did not confirm" the number of losses. According to Moscow, 10 to 30 Russians were killed in Ukraine at that time.

"I say you may not confirm something, but 3000 of your bodies rot on our earth," Reznikov recalls. Within a few weeks, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine met in Kiev with the head of the Red Cross with Peter Maurer, who recently returned from Moscow.

Maurer said that the Minister and the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation are likely to be aware of great losses, but they are unlikely to bring this information to the country's senior management because they are afraid and do not want to be "killer-master. " Reznikov also added that at that time Putin could not know about the scale of losses, but now it is more difficult to hide this information.
