The state-run Ukrainian Railways have announced that they are providing refrigerated train cars to the military so that they can send 10,000 dead Russian soldiers back to Russia.

The latest statistics from the Ukrainian authorities indicate that they have so far allegedly killed approximately 7,000 Russian soldiers and the state-run Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) has said that they will be sending the body bags containing Russia’s dead sons back home to their families when they reach 10,000 dead.

The Ukrainian railway service said in a statement obtained by newsflash: “Ukrzaliznytsia was tasked with sending 20 cars to remove 200 Russian troops from Fastiv, Odesa-Zastava, Podilsk, Merefa, and Zaporizhia stations.

“The carrying capacity of one refrigerator car is 50 tonnes, ie we will be able to take out 10,000 killed soldiers of the Russian occupation army.

“Currently, the cars are already at the stations waiting for a full load.

“Ukrzaliznytsia also develops regulations for the movement of such trains at a sanitary distance from other trains and settlements.

“These cars will be used exclusively to transport the killed occupiers of the Russian army.

“Ukrainian soldiers who died are evacuated by the Armed Forces without the need to use UZ [ed. Ukrzaliznytsia] stock.”

These images, which Newsflash is sending blurred and unblurred, allegedly show deceased Russian soldiers and they were obtained from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.

Ukrainian forces have repeatedly said that they are not at war against the Russian people and claim that they have been publishing photographs of dead Russian soldiers so that their mothers and family members can identify them.

The Kremlin has stated that so far, as of yesterday, Wednesday, 2nd March, a total of 497 soldiers have died in what they have termed a “military operation”. They have also said that 1,597 Russian soldiers have sustained injuries since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said hours later that over 7,000 Russian soldiers had been killed so far and hundreds had been taken prisoner.

Newsflash has not been able to independently verify the numbers provided either by the Ukrainians or by the Russians.
