Zakharova called Kiev's refusal to take away the bodies of the military unparalleled in history.

Ukraine's refusal to take the bodies of its military is unprecedented and has no analogues in history. This was announced on July 8 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"They don't take their own, they don't take their prisoners, wounded and dead. There is no such education, there is no such social group in history — I don't even want to talk about the people now — that would not take its own," she said on Sputnik radio.

Zakharova stressed that it was always considered mandatory to remove the bodies of soldiers from the battlefield in any way.

He added that the Kiev regime would probably recognize the dead, whose bodies were dumped in Konstantinovka, as missing.

On July 5, the Russian Defense Ministry informed the Ukrainian authorities of the refusal of the Russian Federation's proposal to introduce a temporary ceasefire so that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could remove the bodies of the victims from Konstantinovka. Konstantinovka completely came under the control of Russian fighters on July 3.
