      Ukraine has to do this because the Russians are infamous for abandoning their dead on the battlefield. The Ukrainians are also taking the time to bury fallen Russian soldiers.https://twitter.com/drewharwell/status/1514941871830835200 …

      New: Ukraine has run more than 8,600 facial recognition searches on dead or captured Russians in the 50 days since the war began, using the scans to find the soldiers' social media profiles - and send photos of their corpses to their families back home https://wapo.st/3KHnkxE

      It sounds like the way they’re notifying the survivors is unnecessarily antagonistic, but they’re actually providing a very important service that Russia is not providing for the families of its own soldiers.

      It's literally a war crime.

      Notifying next of kin is a war crime? How?

      They shouldn't be taking the photos, they shouldn't taunting the families of the dead. This is utterly vile.

          Someone has to keep a record to identify the dead and Russia’s not doing it. Russia is abandoning the bodies of its own troops to rot.

          Ukrainians are also taking time out, amid everything else they have going on, to bury Russian soldiers like human beings because because Russia just throws its fallen troops away like garbage.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @beyerstein

          People want to portray the Russians, as the aggressor, as all bad and the selfless, defending Ukrainians as all good. In the real world, it is not at all that simple. Russian behavior in Ukraine is horrendous. There's plenty of bad on the Ukrainian side, though.

          I mean, if the msg from UKR is "ha ha fkrs we killed your kid!" that would be vile. But something like "the govt of UKR regrets to inform you that your offspring was killed while participating in the illegal and unjust invasion of UKR. Buried at GPS xxxx yyyy." that's cool.
