Kiev has refused to accept the bodies of Ukrainian servicemen who died in Konstantinovka in Donetsk, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday.
The ministry on Saturday expressed Russia's readiness to conduct a humanitarian operation in order to hand over the bodies, and proposed that the Ukrainian side stop shelling Konstantinovka from 12:00 to 18:00 on July 6, 2026.
Kiev was given a deadline of noon Sunday to respond through official designated communication channels.
The ministry said more than 20 media editorial boards from different countries and continents expressed their desire to cover the handover, adding that it would organize the work of journalists in Konstantinovka in the event of the consent of the Ukrainian side.
"After reviewing the proposal with its security agencies, the Ukrainian side turned down this initiative," the ministry stated.
Russia claimed on Friday that its armed forces had taken full control of the city of Konstantinovka in the frontline. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the claim, saying the city is still under the control of the Ukrainian side.
