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".

Chapter 2. How we met

Luca's POV:

It was raining pretty hard outside. I couldn't go to sleep so instead I grabbed my notebook and started to draw. Out of nowhere I heard a loud noise which had made me fall out of my bed. "Ouch... my back..." I muttered. I wasn't sure if I should run to the open my window and see what was going on or if I should run and hide. I sat on the floor until my alarm clock went off signaling that it was time for me to get up. "I guess it's nothing..." I said to myself shrugging it off before grabbing my notebook and shoving it inside my bag. I got ready for the day and left the house without saying goodbye to my father as he was still sleeping.

Issacs Pov:

I woke up pretty early mostly in my house it's always noisy and it gets really annoying, it was probably my father and his workers. Let me tell you, my father is a leader and a lot of people call my family monsters because of what we are. We would always moved frequently as many people wanted to hurt us are always after us. It's quite difficult to keep what we are a secret. I'm not saying we like to hurt people but we sometimes have our reasons as to why we need to. I don't have anger problems it's just when I'm mad I can't control it, my parents get really afraid especially my younger brother and sister. They're just afraid that something can happen. Luca's POV:

School was only half day today so I just went straight to school and when it had ended I went to work. I would always have to walk there since I didn't have a car but that's fine for me. I work at a restaurant well it was more so a cafe. There weren't many people here so it was a slow day. I put my umberalla aside to let it dry and started taking orders from customers. I heard someone's voice and looked up, for some reason my face started turning red as if I was blushing and I couldn't talk as I was shy.

Issac's POV: When I got up and got ready I went downstairs greeting my family with a good morning. I didn't really want to eat breakfast here so I headed somewhere else to grab some breakfast. It was raining when I headed out but I just grabbed my helmet and got on my motorcycle to start riding to a small cafe. I don't really know this place but it'll have to do. I parked my motorcycle and took my helmet off. I went in and looked around before going to the counter to order. "Hi, can I get a coffee to go?" I asked looking at the male working the counter. I could see the change in color of the male's face as he looked up at me. He couldn't even talk as if he had malfunctioned. His shyness was awfully cute to look at.

Things To Consider Before Purchasing Hydraulic Hose Crimper

What are the things that you should consider before getting a Hydraulic hose crimper? Read the points for a better idea.

A Hydraulic Hose crimper bought for a prolonged duration. Therefore, before deciding on a brand, one should perpetually consider the following tips:

• Inspect the reputation of the brand based on the consistent performance of the machine.
• Verify with current buyers, the response of the organization to after-sales assistance calls.
• Several traders pretend to be producers and sell inexpensive imported machines. They will never acknowledge or reply if any difficulty occurs in the future.
• The critical component of the Hose Crimper is the dies and Cylinder Head. Check with current consumers if the dies have disfigured, even slightly.
• The motor should be of the reputed brand which has service centers throughout the country.
• Check the make of components like Hydraulic Pumps, Valves, and electrical parts.
• Check the system of depth control installed. The accuracy should be in the range of 0.05 mm
• It is a practice by some manufacturers to demonstrate the capacity of the machine by pressing a hollow pipe. Please remember that this is to mislead the customer. Insist on having the hydraulic hose and hydraulic hose fittings of the maximum dimensions crimped to ascertain the capacity.
• Do not fall victim to the marketing techniques of some companies since a manufacturer will always try to sell his product. Customers need to be smart.
