The body collectors: Ukrainian volunteers search for Russian corpses

DONETSK OBLAST, UKRAINE - FEB. 24, 2024: Volunteers of a group called Black Tulip prepare to examine the personal belongings of two Russian soldiers whose bodies were collected on the second anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine on February 24, 2024. Black Tulip aims to collect Russian bodies to exchange for Ukrainians since a soldier cannot be declared dead by the state until there is a body. However, the process of extracting the bodies is extremely risky. Like many areas, Krasnopillia is littered with mines as Russia has been using remote mining systems that scatter tiny mines from the air. There have also been several instances of Russian forces booby-trapping bodies and houses before retreating. (Footage by Jose Colon /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
