Ukrainian body collector’s funeral held - BBC News

The funeral of Ukrainian body collector Denys Sosnenko has been held in northern Donbas, in Ukraine.
The 21-year-old former Ukrainian national kickboxing champion volunteered last year to work as a body collector, bringing back bodies of abandoned corpses of soldiers, both Ukrainian and Russian.
Denys Sosnenko was killed by an anti-tank mine while helping to recover the remains of soldiers.
"Because of your work so many soldiers, who died in places no one would ever have looked, have been reunited with their families,” said Alexey Yukov, the local head of Black Tulip, a charitable organisation where Sosnenko volunteered.

[@deadmanwalking6342]

Ukraine is loosing because its so freaking corrupt on all levels because is one big money laundering operation! I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for globalist oligarchs. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”― Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket , a short book and speeches written in 1935.
