Ukraine War: The Donbas body collector who has lost count

Aleksey Yukov has lost count of the bodies he's recovered in the Donbas over the past five months. He says he thinks it's more than 300, but he can't be sure.

Aleksey and his men drive a refrigerated white van, marked with a red cross, to carry out their work. They often drive towards danger to collect the bodies and remains of dead Ukrainian and Russian troops and civilians.

"We work with no days off. Constantly. We drive, we investigate, we transport, we search, all the time," he says.

It's grim work too - digging up the decomposing bodies of Russian soldiers buried in shallow trenches, or gathering their remains from burnt out armoured vehicles.

According to the United Nations, more than 5,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed since Russia invaded in February.

There are no official figures for how many Ukrainian troops have died. But one adviser to President Zelensky told the BBC last month that between 100-200 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed every day. On average it's at the lower end of that scale.


Aleksey says that figure sounds realistic to him. But he believes the Russians are losing three times that number.

One Ukrainian soldier we spoke to, who had fought in Severodonetsk, described Russian tactics as similar to the First World War - with waves of their infantry running into a hail of bullets.

Who does Aleksey think is winning the war? "It's not about who is winning," he says. "It's about who's right. They [Russia] came here and that was unforgivable".

Every Ukrainian soldier we spoke to said they still believed they could win. Even in units that had suffered combat casualties of more than half of the troops.

But it's taking its toll on the living as well as the dead. Aleksey hasn't seen his one-year-old daughter for months.

"This war has ruined the life you had and the one you've been building," he says.


He adds that at the end of the day it all catches up: "That feeling when you are empty inside. The unfillable void".

Why Russia wants to seize Ukraine's eastern Donbas
Death comes quickly in the Donbas. Russian shells take mere seconds to land, and they're being used in industrial quantities. On average Russia is firing 20,000 artillery shells a day. Ukraine is able to respond with just 6,000.

There's no respite from the sound of heavy shelling at a military medical station we visit. The chief medical officer - who only wants to be known as Dr Anatoliy for his own safety - describes the situation on the frontline as "fragile".

He shows us photographs of a badly damaged military ambulance - riddled with bullet holes and torn to shreds by shrapnel. Dr Anatoliy says the red cross painted on their vehicles mean nothing to Russians. Two more ambulances are waiting outside the building under camouflage nets - ready to go to pick up the injured.

We meet Tina and Polina, two front line medics.

Tina used to work at a children's hospital before she volunteered to join the army. She wipes away tears as she talks about the family she's now missing.


"The pain goes away, because you have a task: to get a person to a hospital alive" she says. I ask if she's scared. "Of course it's scary. When a shell lands nearby, everything shrinks inside you".

For every soldier killed many more are injured. Tina says she's not allowed to give numbers but adds "there are casualties almost every day, and not just one. Sometimes many, sometimes a lot".

Polina is just 21. The war's already cast a big shadow over her short life.

Her father and uncle are now prisoners in Russian-occupied Ukraine. She says she's trying her best not to let it get her down. She exercises and listens to music whenever she can - just to keep some sense of normality.

But Polina admits it's hard not to feel gloomy and depressed: "Apart from the bullets flying over your head, wounded people - and those wounded are often my friends and buddies - if you're taking it to heart it's going to be tough".

It's the troops she treats who give her hope.

"The guys who are injured and exhausted don't even want to go to hospital sometimes. They say I'm not going to leave my mates, we're holding the line together".

@Manga dogs Hi, well I had a problem recently in two manga: Nekojiru Udon and Le Chevalier d'Eon. I have noticed that literally the counter of visits has become paralyzed ❄, but still I see that many have read and comment the new chapters. I have done some tests for days but the counter doesn't change anything. Could you help me? It's really uncomfortable... 🙏

I would like to take this moment to thank you my first donator. I am not sure if I allowed to mention the name but thank you for the support!

I am just asking a penny for my Artist project (fees). I want to work on my book covers and original characters soon to include uploading!
Hope you'll like the story!

YouTube is the largest video sharing service on the internet with millions of videos. Many of these videos are composed of music, which makes YouTube, and especially YouTube Music, one of the most popular media for music fans. Music lovers use YouTube to watch and listen to their favorite music. Due to the variety and number of music on YouTube, you can find almost any music you want on YouTube, which is one of the advantages of listening to music online. But listening to music online has its disadvantages, suppose you are driving in a place where there is no internet or the internet speed is very low, then listening to music online will not be possible for you or it will be painful. . Another disadvantage of listening to music online is the presence of annoying ads at the beginning or end of music playback. These are just some of the disadvantages of listening to music online.
One of the constant concerns of music fans is how to download YouTube music in MP3 format and listen to them offline. For this purpose, there are many tools such as downloader applications or downloader software, but these also have their own disadvantages, for example, you have to spend time installing the application or program, and they stop working after a while. .
