Ukraine War: The Donbas body collector who has lost count

Aleksey Yukov and his men recover dead bodies of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers killed in combat in the Donbas
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".

Twenty-one-year-old Polina says she exercises and listens to music to keep some sense of normality
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".

Garage door maintenance is the process of regularly inspecting, cleaning, lubricating, and repairing your garage door and its components to ensure proper functioning and longevity. This includes tasks such as tightening loose screws and bolts, checking the balance and alignment of the door, and replacing worn or damaged parts such as springs, rollers, and hinges. It's important to perform regular maintenance on your garage door because neglecting to do so can lead to more serious problems down the line. For example, if you don't lubricate the moving parts of your door, they can become stiff and cause friction, which can wear down the parts more quickly and result in a malfunction.

Now is the right time to talk how to dress business relaxed.

Not business-y, but rather never too relaxed, the thought of a refined at this point agreeable office clothing standard is hazardously vague, without a few substantial borders.

It's not past the point of no return.

Peruse on for business easygoing style tips and the key pieces worth putting resources into.

Center Around Fit

The brilliant rule, in each custom fitted feeling of men's style, is buy clothing that fits you appropriately. Nothing obliterates an outfit - anything that the clothing standard and regardless of how costly the garments are - like an evil fitting coat, shirt or pant. The principal mysterious to looking brilliant is estimating accurately. Shoulders, midriff and a careful distance.

Assemble Business Casual Basics

Whenever you've nailed the fit, you can fire developing your closet. Start with pieces that are not difficult to blend and match, so you can get the greatest value for your money, trading coats with jeans and shirts with ties for an alternate look every day.

After you've constructed a strong storeroom loaded with staples, you can begin getting more imaginative with surface, variety and example. Presently, read on for pieces you'll have to dress business easygoing.

The Business Casual Essentials
Assuming you construct your determination of basics cautiously, you'll have the option to accomplish greatest degrees of flexibility with least amounts of exertion (which is vital in the mornings and you haven't even had your espresso yet).

Overcoat

Starting things off with fit, the coat ought to sit square and cozy on the shoulders (no cresting) and be sliced thin through the sides and finish just underneath your butt. Sleeves finish a couple of centimeters over the thumb join to the shirt sleeve should be visible, just. See a designer to figure this out for you.

Covering winter, summer and each in the middle between, there are three coats you ought to consider. The first is an exemplary naval force coat, in a solitary bosom plan with pinnacle or score lapels. In light fleece, naval force is less stodgy than dark and is sufficiently dim to compliment your physical make-up, in a split second tiding up any look.

For cooler mornings, wear a dim tweed jacket. It's ideal from infusing surface (menswear's solution to adding revenue to a block tone with a bombastic print) and will function admirably with other warm hearted textures in your outfit, for example, cashmere pullover, silk sew tie and a chambray shirt.

At the point when the intensity is on, a beige unadulterated cotton or cloth mix coat will assist with keeping you cool in the workplace. Furthermore, its warm, natural tones will light up the workplace, swimming in an ocean of naval force coats, making you a business easygoing champion, justifiably. black shirt white blazer

Shirts

Sick fitting shirts are normal since we aren't all models and in extent from neck to abdomen. Once more, get the fit solidly in the shoulders first, Then, get across: the space between the neckline and the neck ought to fit two fingers serenely, and the shirt sleeve ought to meet at the thumb joint.

In the event that your shoulders are expansive, search for a thin fit plan or consider getting darts; two basic straight creases put toward the rear of the shirt to secure in the swelling texture. This manual for dress shirt weaves will assist you with concluding which texture is best for your environment and clothing regulation. By and large, Oxford shirts are an attempted and tried traditional choice, and arrive in different varieties and examples.

Solids are clearly the least demanding to coordinate, so center at first around norms like white, light blue and pale pink, move into more splendid varieties and examples like stripes, checks or gingham renditions. Continuously remember that you ought to be more business than relaxed, so possibly wear a shirt on the off chance that the neckline can tolerate upping without a tie.

Pants

Because of a decline in suit coats in the workplace as of late, pants are a higher priority than at any other time. Along these lines, begin effective money management now.

Chinos in mid-weight cotton are your go-to decision for semi-formal workwear. Stay with exemplary tones - naval force and camel - and choose a fit that is thin yet not thin.

Pant isolates, again in a multipurpose variety, are the following stage up, wandering into dim or beige, particularly in winter in a rich wool or corduroy. Menswear's ongoing fixation on trimmed pants ought to be limited (put resources into a couple of max). On the off chance that you're after immortal stick to standard length, as patterns go back and forth.

At long last, pants are fitting - working environment allowing. Go for something else on the conventional finish of the denim range: mid-to-dim wash and positively no tears or weighty blurring. Office pants ought to likewise be thin, never thin.

Shoes

The dress shoe works of art are most secure with regards to your footwear. Loafers, Oxfords, Derbies, brogues and priest lashes will all look smart at the workplace, and will supplement each piece referenced above, permitting you to shape a total look when all united.

Easygoing Fridays might take into consideration a negligible, neat and tidy shoe to be worn to work, however once more, likewise with the jean-rule, check with your supervisor first.

For quality, calfskin is in every case better, adhering to dark, brown, oxblood and tan while picking a variety. In summer, try different things with variety and even softened cowhide. This aide - how to wear shaded dress shoes - will help.

The Optional Business Casual Extras
Assuming you truly need an outfit that says "I'm going directly to the top, better beginning getting out that corner office, ASAP," you're prepared to toss these discretionary business easygoing additional items in with the general mish-mash:

Polos

The polo shirt is bringing on the traditional shirt for easy business style. Coming in cotton piqué or the retro weave assortment, the neckline can be worn secured to the neck, for a spotless completion.

In any case, leave the main three buttons open and spread normally, joining a mid year twofold breasted coat and light shaded chinos (and loafers) to play off the going-to-work-could-be-occasion state of mind.

Weaves

On the off chance that you're the sort to wear bolder varieties, the sweater is an incredible clothing thing to give a generally exhausting work closet somewhat pop. Stay away from sweaters with insane examples, as well as anything with a thick-check (like link weave).

The right knitwear needs to sneak by a coat when required, yet be sufficiently significant to hold its own performance. The best come in block tones, a thin fit and sit at beltline length, with an unobtrusive ribbed sew and sleeve. Sweatshirts are an incredible coat supplanting and fair better with a tie, continuously leaving the last two buttons scattered.

Last Word: Accessorize

Taking these fundamental office things, mess with variety and print mixes and adding in or taking out conventional suit extremities for a casual look, that is supercharged.

Ultimately, with regards to extras, we say toning it down would be best. Add a cowhide folio to your wristwatch-ed hand, and get rid of the tie, adhering to the possibility of 'easygoing'. By knowing the guidelines, you can now twist them a tad, and not seem to be a bonehead. That is the means by which the Italians make it happen!
