Вдигат телата на петима загинали украински войници в Донецк

The bodies of five Ukrainian soldiers, who died in the conflict in the east of the country, were handed over to representatives of Ukrainian volunteer organisations who will transport the bodies out of the Donetsk region, Thursday. The transfer took place in the presence of representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The soldiers were killed during the battle for the Donetsk International Airport and the fighting around the village of Sanzharovka. Last week, the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) and the Red Cross managed to locate the remains of numerous soldiers who had been buried under debris at Donetsk Airport. Some of the bodies had been unclaimed for months, as it has been too dangerous to remove them because of the constant shelling of the area. Since the February Minsk agreement was struck, the ceasefire has been generally observed although European observers reported violations on a daily basis.
