The Ukrainian veteran's gravestone carries his photograph and birthday, but the date Roman Shadlovskyi died is a broad estimate: March 2022, the month Russian forces brutally killed both civilians and military personnel before ending their occupation of Bucha.
Shadlovskyi's body was found about three months later in a mass grave along with the remains of six other people in a forest outside the city near Ukraine's capital. Residents and relatives gathered at a Bucha cemetery on Tuesday to give him a proper burial.
