The Grisly Job Of Exhuming The Dead In Ukraine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2022
- In the woods of eastern Ukraine, a team of volunteers are scraping the dirt from a corpse and searching for anything that might identify who it was. One of them finds a cross -- a possible clue. He says it's always an honor for him if the team manages to return a body to its family.

It takes someone with an extremely strong mind to do this job.
Or strong familial connection for their fallen slavic brothers.
It takes only 💕 love from the heart
slava to this man, and their team
Just notnanweak little woMAN
And extremely strong stomach
Deepest respect and honor to all the volunteers that took on the burden of this gruesome heart breaking task.
please pay your attention..... the bodies of the killed Ukrainian military are buried by the Russian occupiers... the bodies of the killed Ukrainian soldiers were not destroyed in "mobile" crematoriums - about which everyone who was paid lied ....., the bodies of the killed Ukrainian soldiers were not left to be eaten by wild animals...

@@user-dy6cw1gm3kYeah yeah Ukraine that Ukraine this
A very respectful act to the fallen soldiers, I'm sure their families appreciate what these volunteers are doing.
I'm sure they'd appreciate it even more if their sons weren't dying in a pointless fucking war.
Many years back (40+) I worked with a man who recovered the bodies of tank crews that had been in tanks that had brewed up in WW2. One of the quietest men I ever met and spent a lot of time deep in his own thoughts. Thanks lads for doing this.
Все вы пидорасы
Soon they will be removing bodies from Leopard tanks that Europe supplies to Ukraine. The Russian army will burn every tank to the ground, no matter how much Europe sends.
heartbreaking, and heartwarming to see Ukrainians doing the "ugly" part to continue to bring honor to their Country, Countrymen and dignity to all Ukraine!
Why do Russians consider Zelensky's regime fascist?
I will give only 7 reasons, although there are many more.
1.After the coup d'etat in 2014, Ukrainian nationalists unleashed genocide against their citizens in the Donbas.
Comment. In the Western media, this fact is carefully concealed or distorted.
2. Ukriana did not comply with Putin's proposed peace plan for the settlement of the conflict in the Donbas (Minsk 1, Minsk 2).
Comment. As the former President of Ukraine Poroshenko and Chancellor Merkel recently admitted, no one was going to comply with the agreement.
3. Ukriana has placed 10 military bases and 30 biological laboratories of NATO on its territory.
Comment. The flight time of the missiles to Moscow would be reduced to 5 minutes.
4.Ukraine shot down a passenger plane, flight MH17 and blamed the Russians for the deaths of 298 people.
Comment. The Russians conducted a complex, full-scale experiment and proved that they could not do it.
5. Ukrian nationalists burned alive 50 people who disagree with the regime.
Comment. The tragedy occurred in Odessa. All the culprits were acquitted.
6. The Ukrainian regime turned a blind eye to the murders of appositional journalists.
Comment. Journalists: Sergey Sukhobok, Olesya Buzina, Pavel Sheremet, Ekaterina Gandzyuk ...
7. Ukriana at the state level adopted the ideology of hatred of Russians.
Comment. Thousands of training camps were set up throughout Ukraine, where children were taught how to kill Russians.
All crimes were committed under the auspices and funding of the United States and NATO. Putin's endurance can be admired, he naively hoped for a peaceful solution to the conflict for 8 years. But when Ukraine concentrated 170 thousand soldiers on the border with Donbass, he decided to retaliate.
Hatred of fascism in Russians at the genetic level! For the victory over fascism in World War II, they paid 27 million people! I have only studied the cause of the conflict and am not calling for anything.

This is a Noble thing these special people are doing. Only those with a special call on their lives can be devoted doing this necessary kind of work. My greatest respect to those of you who go out daily and do this work, even with risk to your own lives. Also great respect to the men and women that has given their lives in the defence of their country.
These people are dying through the fault of the United States, it is the United States that is trying to weaken Russia with the hands of Ukrainians. But they won’t succeed, Russia is too strong, it can’t be defeated!
As a Combat Vet, thank you for doing what you can to bring the fallen back to their loved ones. I didn't have that fear while I served, but I never fought against an enemy that truly had a chance to over run us (even though at times during it I wondered if we would hold...but a kick airstrike or air support and the battles usually ended) that isn't the case in this war. A warfighter must feel confident that he will be returened
Well said,THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, my friend FrankN'Beans!

I am so very sorry for his and all of families of the fallen in the Ukraine. My heart hurts for you all. I know as long as it is needed the good people of USA will support you.

The USSR collapsed with the Cold War; Russia will collapse with this war.
Slava Ukraine - ❤ -
Долбик, союз распался не из за холодной войны. В вашей стране и истории нет, а варежку раскрываете за чужие страны. Россия воюет с нато, а не с хохлами.
@@sket4h You live in a reality that is fictional, the USSR absolutely did collapse due to the Cold War, even your own dictatorship at the time admitted this fact and in the end was trying to better Russia by giving support an to an elected government. Putin was an unfortunate result and became just another dictator in a long line of dictators. You were so very close to having a better country and you ended up with a cancer named Putin.
To your comment about NATO; NATO provides military knowledge/guidance, and the NATO E-3A (or AWACS) which is a modified Boeing 707 equipped with long-range radar and passive sensors capable of detecting air and surface contacts over very large distances. As well, there are satellites that film every inch of the battlefield every six minutes. This is all common knowledge, but there are no NATO boots on the battlefield, yet. When NATO joins in the battlefield actions this will mark the beginning of the end of the war and perhaps Russia too, as Russia will likely suffer in ways that make the Cold War ending look like a celebration rather than the collapse that it was.
So sit back and watch, it’s going to get ugly for Russia as they (Russia) are forced to pay for the damage done, and those in Russia that executed war crimes are executed themselves. NATO sees all, NATO documents all, NATO will punish you all. Have a good day, brother. Stock up on toilet paper and vodka while there is still some to be had. Shits going to get expensive!
Absolute respect for honoring the fallen who have bled on the battlefield!
May their souls be in eternal peace....I can't stop my tears coming out

As a child at 12 years old (I'm almost 70 now) I was riding my bike to see a friend a few miles down the road. A cop stopped me to ask where I was going. I told him and then was asked all the pertinent information, where did I live, did I have permission and so on. He called my dad to verify this and then I heard him telling my dad that I shouldn't be away from home without some kind of identification. Accidents happen and some kids are lost for decades only to be found later and never identified. This stuck with me and from that moment on I never went anywhere without some sort of identification on me. It's so sad that some of these young men won't be identified simply because they had no identification on them!
Some don’t have identification cause there not Ukrainian, there foreigners fighting in Ukrainian uniforms like Polish, Croatian, Georgians and so on
@@hercg1967 the battle took place in the Yampol at the start of massive invasion. That's mean they fell at the February or start of March. The foreign voluneries did not fight at that time in the Doneck region. But a few hundreds volunteries protected Kyiv at the same time.
To ask a stupid question: are they taking DNA samples from these corpses? In the end, forensic genetics may be the only way these fallen heroes are identified.
@@hercg1967 What does being from a different country have to do with not having an ID? Every nation in the world allows it's people to have ID's. Just because you're wearing a different uniform that doesn't mean they make you leave your identification at home!
@@justdoingitjim7095 well for starters, being a foreigner in a Ukrainian uniform, your classed as a mercenary, secondly your id could be taken off you at death as identification since some don’t have dog tags.. make sense

It must be a great feeling living in a country where everybody is united under the same goal for the most part.
Most countries that come under massive conflict or suffer major natural disasters, you will find the populace uniting towards a common goal and exhibiting good will towards each other. Look at 09/11 for the United States 🇺🇸, they suffered thousands of losses in just a couple of hours due to evil terrorists and they united strongly for each other. Most countries do in these circumstances, unfortunately it seems to disappear during peace time. To me that is almost as sad as the death caused by evil men and the death caused by natural disasters. ✌️
except many pro russian exist in ukraine
Your answer to 9/11 Was nothing to be proud about. You brought war upon the middle east, turned all the countries worse in the long run and ruined europe by starting the refugee crisis.
The future of my country is doomed because we are becoming islamized, because of your imperialistic madness.
Shame on you, and your misguided views of doing the right thing.
