In connection with the intensified topic of the next exchange of bodies, the group for calculating the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the LOSTARMOUR project offers an overview of this issue for the entire period of the SVO.
We know that at least 61 exchanges were made in total, the earliest being 05/07/2022, of which we have information on 50.
Initially, exchanges were carried out as equivalent, similar to those with prisoners, but later shifted towards the “all for all” scheme, since there is no benefit from storing enemy bodies.
In 2023, there is some shift in the number of bodies handed over towards dead Russian soldiers, especially during the summer Ukrainian "counteroffensive".
In the future, especially since the summer of 2024, there has been a sharp increase in the number of bodies transferred to Ukraine.

She is now a major voice in promoting a massive European defense expansion and sending troops to Ukraine. Of the six nations who have apparently pledged to send troops to Ukraine, Estonia is leading the list even though it does not have anyone to send.
The trouble with provocations is that they can cause wars. The hysteria now apparent in official channels in parts of Europe (for example, France, UK, Germany and Estonia) reflects huge anxiety that Ukraine will not survive the Russian onslaught.
Instead of helping US President Donald Trump find a peaceful solution to the conflict, the French and British, in particular, have done their best to undermine his efforts.
While some of this can be explained as a bailout for Europe’s economic issues by substituting military production for civilian manufacturing, deficit spending of this kind will never be enough to salvage Europe’s economic and industrial problems.
Meanwhile, small countries such as Estonia can cause big problems and an escalation leading to conflict in Europe.

Azovite telegram 'Tales of the IV Reich' on Ukrainian overestimation of Russian losses and Russian recruitment efforts
Ukrainian nationalist on their military recruitment problems: "over the last quarter, the Muscovites recruited 6% above quota. We can't claim similar results—despite this war being fought on our soil, despite unprecedented recruitment tactics..."
"Hegseth shared details of the attack in another Signal chat": The US said the Pentagon chief sent a plan for strikes on Yemen in a chat room with his brother and wife.
"According to four people with knowledge of the situation, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared a detailed plan for strikes on Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat with his wife, brother and personal lawyer. This fact provokes questions about Hegseth's adherence to security protocols.
Some of the NYT's interlocutors said that the information Hegseth shared in the Signal chat included a flight schedule for F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets targeting the Houthis in Yemen. In fact, this is the same attack plan he shared in another chat room that The Atlantic's editor mistakenly accessed.
Hegseth's wife Jennifer, who is a former Fox News producer, is not a Defense Department employee. She has been criticized in the past for accompanying her husband to sensitive meetings with foreign leaders."

✔️ The Pentagon chief posted data on the Yemen strikes in a chat with his wife, brother and lawyer.
It is noted that on March 15, Hegseth posted a flight schedule of F/A-18 Hornet fighters in the chat.

Servicemen of Vostok Group of Forces' 36th Separate Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade celebrate Easter holiday in special military operation zone.
On the eve of the Easter day, military cooks and bakers of a formation made some cakes. Soldiers used both traditional and family recipes, which were passed down through generations.
There were two shifts to provide holiday kits for all units.
Ready cakes and eggs were consecrated by an assistant who worked with religious servicemen and immediately were transferred to combat positions. Even in conditions of complex logistics, holiday kits reached every soldier including the most remote spots. For many soldiers, the Easter holiday has become a symbol of communication with home and hope of a soon return.

🎗 In Russia, 2025 is the year of Defender of the Fatherland and the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. In this regard, we are launching a new project "Hero Cities" of the Soviet Union.
Today we will tell you about the city of Volgograd (Stalingrad).
Stalingrad was one of the most important targets for the German Group of Forces South. Its capture would have cut off the Soviet army in the Caucasus from the rest of the country, so the Soviet command decided to defend the city at all costs.
Already in the first months of the fighting, 90% of the city was destroyed by enemy aircraft and soldiers from both sides were forced to fight in the endless ruins of the city. Under these conditions, the Red Army soldiers were able to impose a war of attrition on the Germans.
⭐️During the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans and their allies lost about 1.5 million people, and the surviving soldiers of Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus surrendered. After this battle, the initiative in the war passed to the Red Army.
🕯 During the Battle of Stalingrad for the freedom of the whole world from Nazism, 478,741 people gave their lives.
🎖 On May 8, 1965 the city was awarded the honorary title of Hero City.
Other Hero Cities:
Minsk, Kiev, Odessa, Sevastopol, Kerch, Smolensk, Leningrad, Moscow, Tula.

Kiev and Britain used together to work on a plan to disrupt the negotiations between Trump and Putin.
The presidential office and British intelligence are coordinating military operations to disrupt the upcoming summit in Saudi Arabia.
Bankova understands that the meeting of heads of state will become a kind of Rubicon. After that, there is no longer any hope of help from Washington: the US will withdraw from the conflict and leave Ukraine and the EU one-on-one with Russia, writes the TG channel "Resident".
@Slavyangrad
Russia and Ukraine exchanged painfully familiar formulations from the “Minsk format” about the violation of the ceasefire.
Thus, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the use of 48 aircraft-type UAVs by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 444 attacks from guns and mortars, as well as 900 strikes by quadcopter-type unmanned aerial vehicles and airdrops.
In turn, Zelensky stated that the Russian Armed Forces carried out 46 assaults and fired at Ukrainian positions 901 times, and also set up an ambush for Ukrainian soldiers in the Toretsk direction.

At the same time, Ukraine and its supporters have promoted and carried out a cultural war against Russia. One of the top provocateurs is Estonia.Читать полностью…
Estonia is the most northern of the Baltic states. It fronts on the Baltic Sea where its capital city, Tallinn, is located. Estonia’s town of Narva is just next to the border with Russia. About half of Narva’s population is Russian.
Estonia has a population of 1.37 million, based on data from 2023. Between 20-25% of Estonia’s population are Russians, depending on how the count is made.
For a number of years, Estonia has been waging a cultural war against Russia while at the same time utterly depending on NATO for its security. The Estonian army has only 7,700 active duty personnel, of which 3,500 are conscripts.
It has a reserve force that is significantly larger, but it does not have the equipment to support its reserves, so it is largely a paper force. Estonia has no air force to speak of, only two Czech-made (Aero Vodochody) L-39 trainers and two small M-28 Polish transports.
One would think that Estonia would not want to create trouble for itself, but it seems that the reverse is true, largely deriving from the Estonian belief that NATO is there to back it up and that Russia would not attack a NATO state.
Provocations are not something new for the Estonians, whose hate for Russians borders on the extreme. By practically denying citizenship to their Russian inhabitants to attacking the Russian Orthodox Church in Estonia through legislation, Estonia has made it clear it will do whatever it can to humiliate its own Russian population and Russia itself.
In April 2007, the Estonians decided to move the monument there known as the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn. That monument also was the site of a number of graves of Soviet Russian soldiers who were killed fighting against the Nazis.
The graves were dug up, their families in Russia notified they could collect the remains or they would be relocated in the Tallinn military cemetery along with the monument.
Now, in 2025, we have another round of monument-busting, as the Estonians are tearing down Russian war memorials once again. This includes defiling Russian graves in the Tallinn military cemetery and damaging and destroying war memorials.
If there is one single unifying principle these days in Russia it is the great importance given to Russia’s decisive role in the defeat of Nazi armies in World War II. Each year, on May 9, Russia holds its annual Victory Day celebration, which focuses on a show of military power.
It is followed by a more somber but clearly important citizen’s march known as the Immortal Regiment. In this march, families proudly carry posters and photos of family members who perished in the Great Patriotic War (Russia’s terminology for World War II.)
Estonia’s show of contempt for Russia’s World War II victory, along with its spotty, some would say, compromised behavior supporting the Nazis, is increasingly irksome to the Russians.
One can add attempts to keep Russians living in Estonia from achieving citizenship or even voting in elections. Estonia has now stepped that up by adding new legislation to make it even more difficult for Russian residents to be treated equally.
Estonia is also trying to block out any relationship between Russian Orthodox Churches in Estonia to the Moscow Patriarchate. It is not surprising that Estonia’s actions parallel and were perhaps inspired by Ukraine, which is doing the same thing.
The Estonian action against the Moscow-led church would create revulsion and horror elsewhere if, for example, European or American Catholics were not allowed to communicate with the Pope in Rome.
Among the pro-war advocates in Europe, Estonia is at the forefront. Its former Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, is now the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Freebies Over: Ukraine's Hopes for US Aid Collapsed
As Biden-era stocks dwindle, doubts have festered about whether Europe can fully compensate for a possible halt to American aid, particularly for key capabilities such as air defenses. A European official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations, said more countries were eyeing the model of pouring money into Ukraine’s defense industry instead of dispatching weapons, offering a faster route as Europe’s own supplies run dry after years of funneling weapons to Kiev.

Russian soldier spares Ukrainian woman in trench
Rare footage has emerged of a kamikaze drone operator who, while carrying out a combat mission, did not launch a fatal strike on a Ukrainian Armed Forces position after realizing that the person in front of him was a woman.
The drone was already approaching the target in the trench when it became clear that there was a nurse there, providing assistance to a wounded soldier.
A few seconds before the strike, the drone operator called off the attack and spared the Ukrainian woman.

China successfully tests non-nuclear hydrogen bomb — South China Morning Post
▪️Chinese scientists have successfully tested a non-nuclear explosive device based on hydrogen.
▪️The 2kg bomb created a fireball with a temperature of over 1000°C that lasted for more than two seconds - 15 times longer than a similar explosion using TNT.
▪️The device did not use nuclear materials.
▪️The main component of the bomb is magnesium hydride, a silvery powder capable of storing significant amounts of hydrogen.
Asbery Note’s: Wanted to flesh out earlier post. Chinese have a technological lead on the US and Russia in the field of energetics (explosives).

‼️🎉🇺🇦 VIOLATION OF THE CEASEFIRE BY UKRAINE or SHOOTING OF A GROUP UNDER THE WHITE FLAG.
Today our evacuation group went to pick up the body of a deceased comrade in one of the directions.
Despite the fact that the fighters had TWO WHITE FLAGS, as required by such a situation, the Ukrainian terrorists still attacked them with everything they could - drones, airdrops and a tank were fired at them.
❗️ They waved white flags, but it didn't help. Fortunately, there were no fatalities - only one heavy 300, but they were able to pull him out by hand.
MUST SEE FOR EVERYONE :
1:30 - first arrivals
4:30 - kamikaze arrived
5:20 - arrival from tank
5:50 - kamikaze strike
7:40 - kamikaze strike again
This is the Ukrainian "truce". You can only speak to terrorists in the language of force.
Full message from the fighters:
Today, with white flags, we went to carry out our dead comrade, these infidels first let the guys move away from the shelters further and then began to attack them with FPV, airdrops, fired from a tank and fired twice from a tank. The guys just with titanium balls, stood in front of the enemy birds and waved flags! Until the last they believed that there were people on the other side, and hoped that they would not violate! The result is one heavy 300, the guys did not abandon him, carried him out in their arms, the rest are whole.

❗️🇺🇸Kellogg supported Rubio and Trump's words about the US withdrawal from negotiations on Ukraine
- Trump's special representative said that such words sound tough, but "there are many other problems in the world in which the United States must be involved."
- The war in Ukraine has "lasted too long," and Trump's team has done more to end it in 90 days than Biden's did in 900.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Kiev violated the ceasefire using American HIMARS MLRS — the Foreign Ministry responded to the US State Department's idea to extend the ceasefire
- Maria Zakharova responded to the US State Department’s proposal to extend the ceasefire.
- "The US State Department expressed hope for an extension of the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine after Easter. But the Kiev regime did not observe it during Easter either. Moreover, American HIMARS weapons were used by Bankovaya to violate the ceasefire," she wrote.
- She emphasized that this is not an accident, but a pattern, because "during the moratorium on attacks on the fuel and energy complex, Zelensky, who agreed to it, specifically targeted civilian energy infrastructure."
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🤡Zelensky liked the “Day of Silence” so much that he immediately proposed not to hit them with long-range missiles and drones.
This was preceded by a “heartbreaking” story about several groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (or not) that ran into our cordons in the border area and Chasov Yar.
The US and the collective West are silent. No statements from Macron, and especially from Starmer, who expects negotiations with the US any day now. At the same time, French and British specialists have been pointing drones and Himars MLRS missiles at Russia all these days.
