Officials meanwhile recovered the bodies of two British volunteers, killed trying to help evacuate people f
Their bodies were returned to Ukraine authorities as part of a wider exchange, in which Kyiv got 116 prisoners and Russia 63.
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin had also published online photographs of passports that appeared to belong to Parry and Bagshaw, which he claimed were found with the corpses. "The situation is complex, the scale of the accident is significant," Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said on messaging app Telegram.
