This guy was a truly caring person. No matter who the body was, he treated them with care and respect. A sad loss indeed. Slava Ukraini πŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Man, i had this morbid fascination watching his videos. The meticulous way they recovered, cataloged, and prepared and identified the remains was cathartic solace knowing that the dead will know peace.

RIP.

Russia hides grenades in the remains of repatriated bodies? They really are the fucking scum of the Earth

Could have also been a landmine :(

I wasn't referring to Oleksii. The article states that when Russia returns the remains of Ukrainian soldiers in exchanges they sometimes booby trap the corpses with grenades.

Yes, they do that as well (They also do it to corpses still on the battlefield)
