[Regnum] The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces refuses to take the bodies of its servicemen; Russian troops have to bury them right in the combat zone. The commander of the assault detachment of the 394th regiment of the fifth combined arms army of the Vostok group with the call sign Saval told TASS about this. “The Ukrainian Armed Forces are leaving behind their dead and seriously wounded. I even went out via radio and offered to pick it up. They refuse,” the commander said, adding that the Russian Armed Forces are forced to hastily bury them in their positions. Also, Ukrainian militants are preventing the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield, including their own military personnel, Saval concluded. As IA Regnum reported, Ukrainian Armed Forces militants who die en masse during attacks and strikes by Russian fighters in the special operation zone are buried in mass graves of 100 people each, the source said. According to his information, a special manual has been developed for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to which such a grave should be 20 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.3 meters high in the lower part. When digging graves, the Armed Forces of Ukraine mainly use bulldozers. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to carry out reburial from a mass grave earlier than one year from the date of burial. Removing the remains of one deceased from a mass grave is possible only if all those buried are reburied by decision of local authorities and in the presence of a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion, the RIA Novosti interlocutor explained. |
