The Russian Defence Ministry said on June 5 that Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services discussed transferring the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers killed in Konstantinovka, and that Kyiv rejected Moscow’s proposal. Moscow had on June 4 offered a humanitarian operation to hand over the remains and requested Ukrainian forces to halt shelling of Konstantinovka on June 6 between 12:00 and 18:00 Moscow time; Kyiv was asked to decide by 12:00 Moscow time on June 5. Ukraine has not responded.
