An agreement, of course, but its a victory that. Er, we will all agree that this is how we consider it a victory, i will also join this story, but this victory will not bring back those losses, victory will mean the beginning of a peaceful life until the next war, for which we must teach their children to defend themselves, with well, the main thing now is that this war does not reach our children, this is the main thing, the headache that exists, everyone solves it differently, but well. My younger children and son, went to poland, studied there for a year, my son was constantly looking for the opportunity to escape to ukraine, now they have arrived, they are worried, everything is different , they dont want anything, they want to be here, and they love it on our land, they want to live here and happily, i think, like everyone else, there is no point in this absolutely, i think my understanding, sense of victory, i think the same as yours, i think the same as millions. Ukrainians now the feeling of simple human happiness, if only for a moment, i thank you very much, thank you for inviting me. Protection of the holy mother of god, the main holiday of the cossacks, the first defenders of our will, and through the ages we dedicate this day to all those who defend our land, the day of defenders and defenders of ukraine, from now on october 1, to the protection of the most holy. The mother of god, covered with flags, does not speak about them aloud, this painful conversation is half postponed. After the war son, dont hide, help us find you, help i am allahotsyanivska ventured on her most difficult expedition to tell what it is worth to find and return the bodies of our heroes. What i saw, i want to forget forever. Stop, remains. He said, i dug it up, i also asked how he dug it up, he dug it out with his hands. The last, perhaps the most important battle for memory, in ukraine, a hero, heroes do not die, ukraine , we meet on the izyum slovyansk highway, the search group goes to the deoccupied territories, not the place where three ukrainian paratroopers, fighters were last seen. Disappeared six months ago. We are going to burashkivka, according to preliminary data, there is a place there, a probable place of disappearance of servicemen, we will check. Andriy brings the bodies of soldiers home, he used to look for dead soldiers of the second world war, after the beginning of the great war he joined the humanitarian mission of the armed forces of ukraine. You can even see the positions from here, now. Searchers receive armored personnel carriers, location coordinates and all information about missing persons from military units, they also contact their relatives, so what happened . It is a very big request that everyone not stand together, so that little by little, only after inspecting the sapper, carefully, step by step, we go deep into the positions. Served in the air force, was an Electronic Warfare officer. 29yearold captain roman karpov, a Personnel Officer with combat experience, had been on duty in the donbass since the 14th, after a fullscale invasion, he again found himself in the east. Decorated with the cossack cross, neutralized tsiland 10, these are russian. On april 23, 2022, the connection with him was cut off, a few days later natalya saw a photo of her murdered son in russian telegram channels. My sons acquaintances come to me at work and say, aunt natasha, your son has died. And they showed me a photo where my son is lying shot in the head, next to him are two more soldiers, also in the head, shot by snipers. The woman did not receive any official information from the command of the unit, so she started the search on her own. In the photo, my son was lying next to two other soldiers, one had a military id, the other a passport. We enlarged these photos, it turned out that ostafychuk rostyslav was lying next to his son khmelnytskyi region from the city of kamianetspodolskyi, on the other serhiy tsimbalyuk from the khmelnytskyi region, polonsk district of the village of velyka bryzna. At these addresses, i found mothers, ostafychuk and tsimbalyuk. I asked the mothers where their children served, they answered that they were in the 95th brigade, under. after a while, natalya found out what exactly happened to her son from his relatives, his siblings. On april 23, roman karpov, rostyslav ostafiychuk and serhiy tsimbalyuk mined a forest strip, they were given the task of mining the territory, making stretch marks, it began very heavy artillery fire. And they said that it was as if snipers were working, they shot three of them , their comrades, who went with him in a group, wanted to take them away, but they could not approach them, because they were also very heavily shelled. Serhiy tsymbelyuks family was the first to learn about the soldiers deaths. His commander called us and informed us about it. Its very difficult, we dont even have a grave, i just take pictures and talk to the picture. These unknown women were then united by a common grief. For the first three weeks, we probably talked several times a day each day three flights of drones were organized over the bodies, thanks to these flights, the video recordings that were there. Made by these drones, the identification of the bodies was carried out, however, due to the hostilities , it was not possible to take the bodies of the fallen, they said that there were several attempts, but if the russians used the bodies of my husband and his brothers as bait, that is, to put as many of ours as possible, well, this is one of the verses. This territory is under the control of the enemy, months of occupation and expectations, well done, guys, gentlemen, at the beginning of autumn, the armed forces of the soviet union begin a counteroffensive on kharkiv region, cities and villages are being liberated one by one, among them a long one, to look for her dead son, natalya is going east , she drove, put on his jacket, took his backpack, you understand, i was just at that time, i flew this body there, i knew, what we will find, but i understood that, well, that the search will be difficult, i shout, son. Show yourself, show yourself, my son, as the mothers heart has told you the exact coordinates, but dont hide, give yourself the opportunity to find yourself, and why did hope almost turn into a tragedy, yes, there is also something here, when we heard that the nestling, the last path of heroes, we arrived at the point, checkin for a long time. And where is the landing, we will look for a landing, everyone has arrived, i want, i want to show the man how many people, all these people are professional searchers, natalie was allowed to join the search mission, i could not refuse, well, this is not a very good practice, because there are mothers , who understand, but there are such mothers, well, who can only interfere with the search, they enter the landing, there is no landing, this is already the third search mission, the previous two were unsuccessful, when we were given the location, where, where they probably died, we found them there not found, then the occupiers of the mother also threw the points where they were hidden, we, we then went to those locations, also searched, we did not find them there either, well, and thirdly, when after all that, when we visited all these locations, i understood that it is necessary to return to the place of death and look for carp there, we arrived there, near this landing i am shouting, son . Show yourself, show yourself, my son, dont hide, give me the opportunity to find you, my son, i came here, dont hide, help us find you, help, in the forest strip of mines and stretch marks, a place, where there were a lot of tanks and shells, the sappers were the first to inspect the area, when they saw how from this landing, three bloodcovered sappers came out, which i blew up on this stretch, yes, there are more here too, you ask them for forgiveness, guys, sorry, im sorry that this happened to you, i didnt want, i didnt want you to be hurt, i wanted to know my son, but not at the cost, you know, of someone elses life, and they themselves, its our job, dont worry, its our work, three. Suffering minor injuries, andrii, the leader of the search group, decides not to suspend the mission and bypass positions on the other side. Everyone was afraid to make a sound, a word, anything, we were on the alert for every sound. The tense silence was broken by the sound of the walkietalkie, probably a feeling that somewhere 300 meters from the point of his death, i was led to the left, i immediately saw the body armor of one of the soldiers, and after i saw this body armor of one of the soldiers, i also saw the second and the third, i saw, all three of them were there in a row when we heard that you were carrying a bag, and then, to be honest, i ran across that swamp, across that whole thing to where they were, yes, yes, my son, yes, my little son, thats all, where is my little paw, my god, what happened to you, he didnt have a belt, he didnt have a belt, i stroked him so ahead, we found, we all found, how was my life, that he is alone, i cant take him and bury him humanely after so many months. I recognized it right away, although, believe me, the face, the face was no longer there, but by his body, by his body, and by his clothes , these bodies were carefully transferred, the bags were carried, on the grass, this is a cymbal, thats all that to me gave away this is all that is left of my son, this is all, nothing else, well, how could they be left there, as, as a medic, as, too , yes, glory to ukraine, a hero, heroes do not die, they die, 14,000 military and civilians in a year of fullscale wars were officially included in the lists of missing persons under special circumstances. These are data from the office of the commissioner for missing persons. This status belongs to those whose connection was broken during hostilities. The location of 700 missing people, i. E. , half of them were found, 70 of them were found in captivity, 30 were killed, the fate of another 700 people is still unknown, they are being sought, and due to active hostilities, the army of the missing is growing every day. Burned equipment, underfoot remains of sukhpai, unexploded shells and russian uniforms, these trenches were occupied by the occupiers after the retreat of the ukrainian forces. We are looking for machines to equip ours, and we are also followed by a dog that smells a dead person. Besha, a belgian shepherd, is a fullfledged member of the search team. She doesnt care how much time has passed since the person disappeared. Will still smell, the dog hears over there at a distance of 5070 or more meters and she will show her behavior and pull colds. Larisa started preparing her wards in the 13th year, she says, now they are indispensable assistants. In this expedition, there was a very difficult, difficult location, the body of a fallen soldier was buried, who was then taken to this location in this garden. Tanks for five months. And well, there was no exact point to start digging there, and it was necessary to dig exclusively with an excavator, because the earth was compacted, almost like concrete, and the dogs gave a mark, and exactly at this point, the excavator and, in general, i picked it up, the military literally looks under every bush , there are no clues, it happened that we found the bodies of our soldiers lying in them for a very long time from the russian okup, somewhere two meters away. Well, in front of them, so they could have collected their bodies, they could have remained here, if there were bodies here, the bodies could have remained here, also here sometimes the russians even dug in near their kitchen 2 meters from their kitchen, why does this shock us, and for occupiers is the norm, with yana prymachenko, a Senior Researcher at the institute of the history of ukraine, we trace how for decades in russia , the value of human life was devalued and contempt was formed even for the dead, the cult of the not. Famous soldier, mass graves, eternal fire, after the second world war, the soviet authorities deliberately did not single out every fallen soldier. These unknown soldiers, they created this, a cult, this army of immortals, a nameless army, which the soviet state used as its resource, and the Russian Federation is doing exactly the same thing now, that is, for russia, modern russia, and long live the name. People , they are the same resource as oil and gas, and life and death in russia belongs to russian officials. Very often, i encountered that the bodies of our servicemen are not, they are not buried, they are not cleaned, they are still lying on the surface , if, for example, a car, for example, or a tank needs to go there, then they just go and drive over them, there was more than one such a moment that, for example, as in bogorodychny, as our group, a group of our servicemen was ambushed, then a lot of transport drove by them, and then we literally collected them little by little, our guys, what are you doing . Stop, the remains, well, look, little by little, look, there is something inside here, yes, there is, in the ground it is difficult to see the remains of a military uniform, and even more so, the remains of a person, i am not at a loss for words, the only thing in my mind is someones husband, son , father, its a lizard, yes, yes, a paratrooper, it turns out that the pockets are very small, empty, give it here, jack, take a shovel, and dig away from here in this place, so, look, she has already dug a trench, there, a fragment jackets are found on a tree, yes, there are bones. We cannot claim that they are one and the same the person himself, well, you see, here are the remains, this is the second jacket, and the little thing lying there is probably the second person, most likely from the explosion, as we need them separately, we cannot put them in one bag, we have no right, the brigade informed us that there was a direct hit from a tank , at our servicemen, there were three of them there, in this work, well, without. It is impossible to work from a psychological barrier, emotions, they then come in the evening after the trip, during work emotions no, we have to work here, here we have to collect this person as much as possible. Larisa admits that sometimes she covers them, on october 7, in zaporizhzhia, after the arrival, the dog gives a sign, i tell the guys from the state emergency service, the dog gives a sign, then something, well, there are some rags hanging there. Uh, and i automatically stretch the year, and well, a piece of human flesh remains in my palms, which i just hold , and its not scary, its not shocking, because its the 21st century, and its all shocking, its not normal, what is happening in the 21st century we still have a lot of work ahead of us and we must somehow restrain ourselves and protect our resources. Locations where soldiers have already been found or have been seen, searchers put on an interactive map, and personal data of the missing persons are also added there. This is our location of the places of disappearance, this is also the location where he disappeared, then we found him in captivity, that is, we change the color. When. It is impossible to get to these places, the locations are surveyed by aerial reconnaissance, the Analytical Department meanwhile monitors the russian public, any clue becomes useful. Oleg kotenko, the commissioner for missing persons, travels to the hottest spots with his groups. As soon as it becomes possible. No, we wouldnt drive through here. When leaving, they mine everything, first of all, they also mine the bodies of our fallen soldiers. You know that raisin story when we found that burial. Its true, we went to the burial of our military, we didnt know there would be civilian burials, we just found this burial because we had a video that was posted and our Analysis Department calculated that it was the city of izyum, and plus minus, which cemetery is this, and when we found that cemetery, the first day i personally took off three stretchers, and the next day, when we were visiting the miners, it so happened that we also walked through the replaced. Territory and we didnt understand it ourselves, we somehow bypassed it, and if we advanced, then everything is likely, well, it would be sad, by the way, are we taking risks or not, we are really taking risks, search teams are working in various locations, in particular, they are also looking for missing people and under rubble, this is a school in novoselyvka , donetsk region, and Russian Troops probably shot at her. From the tanks, according to searchers, in the basement at this moment there were Ukrainian Military personnel, they work in shifts for 20 minutes, here they are careful, there are two mounted ones and they stand there, here they are carefully, the dog sparky is involved in the most difficult locations, she has more than 100, 120150, probably these searchers behind her shoulders missions, and she found a lot of bodies. It is impossible to breathe here without a mask because of the dust, andrii warns me to be careful. Under the ceiling can collapse at any moment. After several days of searching, the mission is suddenly canceled. Some of the locals apparently saw how the russians were taken away hence the body. We just found one guy who saw them being dumped from a roller coaster to the urals, bodies were being thrown, alive, not alive, he cant tell, hes so far away. I saw that they were afraid coming, near the fire pit, there, i will call, tell you, it was white, yes, thats for sure, or that too , well, well ask now, well, a dog can smell blood, and there was a wound, andriy is noticeable upset, it is not known where to look for the bodies of the fallen soldiers. During another search operation in march of this year , larisa will be blown up on a stretcher, for more than a day the cynologist will remain in a coma, she will be rescued, and difficult rehabilitation lies ahead. The last flight, there are four villages, like that on his knees. Who are they, the carriers of memory, you are carrying a child, and he is 19 years old, there is no way to remember him. Therefore, they are ready to take on the last conversation with the native heroes, and it is very difficult to prove why i am alive and he is not, their working day begins already in experience, this group transports the bodies of fallen soldiers, a passport, a token, everything, in principle, remains the governor, he can already be sent there through the army the car for two days, huh, and the other one is the same, look, even the rights, also a photocopy, and if they were brought at night, the documents are already there, a part is already working in this direction to inform the military mother and relatives, this is our second point of evacuation of bodies the dead, the first point, it is more than zero, they are taken away by medics, tow trucks, bring them here, put the bodies in the morgue , we arrive in the morning, describe all the bodies, take pictures of what things are there, watches, chains, documents, describe everything, take them away , lets go further, to the humanitarian project evacuation of the dead heroes, alexander joined the great war a long time ago. I saw a lot, i saw everything, and they pulled it out from scratch, and we saw crossbows, we saw everything, but we dont need to dw
