Every. Single. Time. a report like this emerges, it virtually mirrors a report that just came out about Ukraine. This from the NYT 2 days ago “Due to the scale of losses, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot report on the dead in a timely manner, writes The New York Times. Ukrainians are dissatisfied with this. Relatives note that everywhere they encounter neglect and inaction, bodies are identified from aerial footage taken from a drone, their deaths are reported by colleagues, but Ukrainian commanders “will not lift a finger for months” to find out the fate of Ukrainian servicemen or take their bodies. The Ukrainian military leadership is simply overloaded with losses and is unable to properly account for the thousands of dead. - ISZ reports” https://twitter.com/Zlatti_71

Its been reported numerous times that Uke soldiers’ pay is sent to their commanding officers. If they disappear but are not reported…their officers continue to collect their pay. If soldiers do go “ missing” they are often reported as deserters so their families receive no benefits.

great digging, thanks. It’s called projection; blaming others for what they themselves are doing. The DEI kids embedded in the media are busy pumping out childish propaganda.

“Due to the scale of losses, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot report on the dead..."

Wow. MucusMaximus approves.

Ukrainian babushkas awaiting the return of their sons, their dead bodies, their dna...or their death benefits.

This is from the article that you made the effort not to link to, choosing to post a photo of the headline instead and write your own text.

“Delays only add to the cash-strapped government’s financial burden because families of soldiers who are missing, even if presumed dead, receive monthly salaries of about 100,000 hryvnia, or about $2,570, until the soldiers are officially declared dead. The cost of continuing those payments could run to potentially hundreds of millions.”
