First burials of unidentified soldiers to take place at memorial cemetery in May
The first burials of unidentified Ukrainian soldiers are planned to take place at the military memorial cemetery in May. Source: Deputy Interior Minister Leonid Tymchenko in an interview with Details: Tymchenko said that the bodies of people who cannot be identified are subject to temporary burial. "In general, temporary burial is reserved for those bodies which we managed to add to the database by taking a DNA sample, but found no match. In such cases they are stored for a year," explains Klymenko's deputy. Tymchenko said that there were also temporary burials in Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts back in 2022, when the decision was made by oblast or city military administrations, because there were many bodies. Quote: "Now it is planned that in cases where the bodies could not be identified, they will be buried in a military memorial cemetery with appropriate honours. So far, a large number of bodies are still being stored. The first group of unidentified soldiers will be buried at the military memorial cemetery in May." Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Rare Protest at U.S. Embassy in Ukraine Reflects Fears Over Trump
Maryna Tymchenko walked to the U.S. embassy on Wednesday morning and held up a homemade cardboard sign over her head: 'Reagan would have hated it,' the sign read, alluding to the former president who famously called the Soviet Union 'an evil empire.' She said she felt whiplash from the past two weeks as the United States, once Ukraine's top ally, and the Republican Party, the party of Ronald Reagan, appeared to back Russia in its war against Ukraine. But Ms. Tymchenko, who skipped lunch for the small protest, was nuanced in her views: She was angry with President Trump, who appeared to blame Ukraine's leaders for Russia's invasion of her country. But she was grateful for America's past support of Ukraine's war effort. She was also confused: Why had the United States aligned with Russia? Why had initial talks to end the war taken place between the United States and Russia while leaving out Ukraine? Why was the Trump administration pushing Ukraine to sign a deal — which appeared to be in its final stages on Wednesday — that would grant the United States at least some future profits from the mining of critical minerals in Ukraine? 'It feels like a knife in the back from your dear friend,' said Ms. Tymchenko, 27, who works for an information technology company in Kyiv. 'That's why I'm here. It's so weird. That's not what the U.S. is supposed to do. You're the leader. You're strong. Why don't you support us?' As anti-American protests go, this was more of a plea for help than a shout of anger. There were no chants of 'Death to America,' as happens at even the most benign protests in Pakistan or Iran. The woman who organized the protest was gentle in her admonitions. Want all of The Times?
