Last year, as Russia was forced out of areas of Ukraine it had occupied, thousands of Russian casualties were left behind. Since then small groups of Ukrainians, both military and civilian, have been trying to find and collect the bodies in order to send them back to Russia. FRANCE 24's correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports from Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Groups of Ukrainians, both military and civilian, are searching areas previously occupied by Russian forces before they were forced to retreat last year. They hope to find the bodies of Russian soldiers left on the battleground. Hundreds have already been collected, and hundreds more still lie in bogs and trenches.
