Zakharova: "The Kyiv regime does not need its citizens, either alive or dead"

The Kiev regime professes a misanthropic ideology, it does not need its citizens, neither living nor dead. This was stated to TASS by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the Ukrainian side's decision to postpone the acceptance of the bodies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers and the exchange of prisoners of war. "The Kiev regime does not need its citizens, neither living nor dead. There is no nation or ethnic group in the world that would refuse to bury its soldiers. But there is a Kiev regime that professes a misanthropic ideology and is committing genocide against its own people," the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman emphasized.
Earlier it was reported that the process of exchanging prisoners of war and handing over the bodies of the dead between Russia and Ukraine has been postponed. The Russian and Ukrainian sides have made mutual accusations.
