The SBU and police seized more than 260 units of weapons: results of the special operation.

As a result of a nationwide special operation, the police seized 263 units of firearms, over 74 kilograms of explosives, and 61,674 ammunition of various calibers. During the conducted activities, 10 facts of arms trafficking were documented, several weapon caches were discovered, and more. Among the confiscated items are grenade launchers, grenades, and various ammunition.

The aggressor country Russia will demand that Ukraine destroy Western weapons received as military assistance. Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko believes that the presence of such weapons 'creates a huge threat to the security of the Western states themselves'. The issue of destroying Western weapons may be raised during the third round of negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations.

Ukraine has received another 1,245 bodies, which, according to Russian claims, belong to Ukrainian citizens, including military personnel. Thus, Ukraine has received a total of 6,057 bodies under the Istanbul agreements. Therefore, the repatriation part of the Istanbul agreements with the Russian Federation is completed.

At the same time, as reported by Interior Minister Igor Klymenko, Ukraine received the bodies of killed Russian soldiers during the latest repatriations. In his opinion, this could have been done by the Russians deliberately to increase the number of bodies transferred and burden our experts, all while applying cynical informational pressure. It may also reflect their usual careless attitude toward their own people.

The special operation to seize illegal weapons in Ukraine was successfully completed, during which a significant amount of firearms, explosives, and ammunition was seized. Russia demands that Ukraine destroy Western weapons received in military assistance, which may be discussed during future negotiations. Additionally, more dead citizens have been returned to Ukraine, finally completing the repatriation with Russia under the Istanbul agreements.
