The bodies of Russian soldiers are piling up in Ukraine, as Kremlin conceals true toll of war

“Do you know they have brought a cremation chamber with them? They’re not going to show the bodies to their families. They’re not going to tell the mothers that their children died here.” - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Lviv, Ukraine (CNN) — The first warm, sunny days of spring in the southern Mykolaiv region are ushering in a grim new reality: the smell of the dead. As the frost melts and ground thaws, the bodies of Russian soldiers strewn across the landscape are becoming a problem.
In his nightly video address on Saturday, Vitaly Kim, the region’s governor, called on local residents to help collect the corpses and put them in bags, as temperatures rise to above freezing. “We’re not beasts, are we?” he implored residents, who have already lost so many of their own in this war. MykReferring to them as “orcs”— the evil, monstrous army in J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” — Kim said that the Russians had retreated and left their colleagues’ charred bodies behind on the battlefield. He sent CNN pictures of the abandoned corpses, adding: “There are hundreds of them, all over the region.”olaiv was among the first regional capitals to be attacked after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine on February 24. After pushing into the urban center, Russian troops have been forced out by Ukraine’s military, leaving a trail of blackened combat vehicles and tanks in their wake. But the battle for the city, a cornerstone in Russia’s westward quest along the Black Sea coast to Odesa, is still raging and it’s unclear how long Ukrainian forces will be able to fend off the assault.

he governor has called for the bodies to be placed into refrigerators and sent back to Russia for identification through DNA testing. But, a month into the war, it is still unclear how or if the remains of soldiers are being repatriated to Russia, where reports about the death toll have largely been silenced. The country has cracked down on any information about the realities of the bloody war, restricting access to Western media reports, as well as the social networks Twitter and Facebook, in Russian territory. US and NATO officials, who gave a recent estimate that Russian casualties range from between 3,000 and 10,000. Ukrainian officials have claimed the toll is even higher, at more than 15,000. And as March turns to April, and temperatures climb to around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the problem is getting worse. “The problem with Russian bodies is really huge. It’s thousands of them. Before the war, the weather was cold, it was okay but now we have problems because Russians don’t want to take the bodies,” Andrusiv said. “I actually don’t know what we will do in the next weeks with their bodies.”

The Russians have so far refused to collect their war dead in Ukraine under any circumstances or terms. What sort of military does that?

What sort of military does that? The sort that is run by an absolute dictator who can do anything he pleases and doesn't have to answer to the folks back home. That's the sort of ruler Russia has.

The lesson we need to learn is that we never, ever want to have such a ruler, one who has all of the power. We need to support and uphold the Constitution that limits the power of government.

What are they going to tell the families of the dead about what happened to the bodies of their loved ones?

What are they going to tell the families of the dead about what happened to the bodies of their loved ones?

Their usual modality is to tell families their loved ones are MIA.

This relieves the Kremlin of counting them as KIA.

The US military normally goes to great lengths to recover KIA or MIA from the battlefield.

Yup. No soldier left behind.

Putin has shown to the world his neo-Soviet army is 2nd rate at best. They can barely hold their own against Ukraine much less all of NATO. Unless he and his buddy Xi Jinping want to start a nuclear war.

Putin is a Barbaric Savage, no different than Hitler and the Other Savage Tyrannical Mad Men who existed before him.

2nd rate? More like 4th rate.

That's right.
One more reason why the US is superior to Russia.
In fact, democracies are superior to dictatorships in general.

German dictatorships are tough! How many Allies does it take to takedown one German dictator. ?

One. The UK, Russia, Canada, NZ, Australia, and (kind of) France and a few others helped. But we could have done it ourselves.

And today we could take Russia ourselves, nuclear or conventional or mixed. (I'd take Ukraine as an ally in a minute though!)

That doesn't even seem possible, that the Russians would just abandon their dead and then when they're brought to them, still refuse them? I can believe there are dead on the ground, but not that Russia isn't taking them back.

Grisly business.

And does it make you proud to be supporting the killing and destruction that is the result of the invasion by the evil murderous thug Putin?
