Sections reserved for soldiers are at capacity. Across the country, teams of architects have been working on memorials that reflect not only the scale of the ongoing carnage but also the evolving ideas about national identity.
It's a sandy track, well-hidden among the pines, off the highway connecting Kyiv to Odesa in the Hatne region. The outline of a newly dug off-ramp, carved by bulldozers and still unmarked, signals the start of a massive construction site. This is the highway exit that will serve as Ukraine's future national military memorial cemetery. The project is enormous, highly sensitive and not just because environmental activists and residents of the small village of Markhalivka – 40 kilometers from the capital, but right at the base of the future cemetery – worry about deforestation and the loss of their rural quiet.
In the village, only a new brown sign, the color used to mark national sites, marks the road that leads trucks to the site. It reads in English: "National Military Memorial Cemetery." A first section, designed to hold 10,000 graves and already laid out with broad granite paths, benches and lime trees, is due to receive its first burial this summer. But in the long term, "130,000 or even 160,000" people will be laid to rest at this future burial ground, explained architect Serhi Derbin, clad in khaki linen trousers and a straw panama hat, under the blazing July sun.

It looks like neither leader cares much about ending all the death and destruction.
For the combat dead or the deserters?
As long as U.S. tax dollars aren’t paying for those cemeteries or the burials.
Both.
Don’t hold your breath.

You're right. We've probably been buying their toilet paper all this time too.
Zelensky and his cohorts sure like sending white Christian men to their deaths.
“Zelensky and his cohorts sure like sending white Christian men to their deaths.”
Putin hires North Koreans for $2,000 a month. I don’t think he pays his prisoners that much.
“Zelensky and his cohorts sure like sending white Christian men to their deaths.”
We sent over 400,000 to their death in WWII and we weren’t even invaded.
More casualties of NATO’s proxy war on Russia.
or the last Russian...
or the last Russian, North Korean, etc. etc. etc.
If invdaded, The US would fight until the invaders are repelled also.
Putin refuses to end the war...
I despise both of them. If they wanted the war to end, it would.
Yeah, but we are told that Ukes aren’t dying that much. Were they lying?
President Trump, and some of the Federal officers under his command, are fighting the current Illegal Alien Criminal Invasion of The United States, however Democrats, NeoCons and RINOs are assisting the Invaders in Invading America.
Our tax dollars just helped pay for the killin’ in this proxy war.
Not because any US citizen wanted to pay for that. The rich get richer and the poor do the dying.
The Director of National Security has shown the world how Obaman, Biden and their minons created the Russia Hoax and got American into the Ukraine war.
JIMROB should shut down all Zeeper BS immediately. They are simply DNC Obama/Biden minions.
The best Trump can do is return Ukraine back for Russian incorporation to the extent that Russia wants given the President of the US actually implemented a coup in both Ukraine and the United States.
