Macabre 'flight of death' carries coffins of 120 soldiers killed in Putin's war A military plane has carried 120 dead Russian soldiers 5,000 miles home after losing their lives in Putin's war in Ukraine.
A total of 120 coffins are in the New Year military plane to remote Sakhalin, off north Japan.
Putin has sent a disproportionate number of fighters to war from far-flung Russian regions, rather than major cities like Moscow and St Petersburg.

They were flown a transit point at Rostov-on-Don, close to Ukraine, to Russia’s largest island Sakhalin, in the Pacific.
