Russia Ukraine war, page-218280

NYT revealing atrocious details of how the Ukrainian government treats their own dead soldiers and their relatives. After revelations like that, only a complete dimwit would keep believing that the Ukrainian MOD has the capability to provide correct estimates of Russian casualties, when they can't even account for their own properly.

- Visually confirmed deaths are sometimes classified as "missing" months after the visual confirmation of KIA
- It takes months for the relatives to receive the official declaration of death
- Ukrainian military is simply overloaded with casualties and unable to account for thousands of the dead
- Multiple protests in Kyiv swhere relatives demanded more accountability for soldiers who had gone missing
- The process of identifying a body can still take up to several months
