April 21 2022 Bucha, Ukraine – Rudenko Denis Oleksandrovich, 37, who was shot in his leg, stomach and eyes while helping the evacuation of refugees as a volunteer in Bucha, is buried by his father, mother and other family members at a cemetery in Bucha in Kyiv, Ukraine, on April 21, 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“The smell of death, even police couldn’t come close.”
The family lost contact with Denis after Russian army took control over Bucha and they found his remains among the bodies of killed victims at a local morgue after visiting several other morgues to identify him.
“We were searching for him but we’re told that they found a matching body. About a month passed (since he disappeared) and it was hard to recognize him. We came here, to Bucha… they had four unidentified bodies in a refrigerator. Police officers opened the refrigerator for us. The smell of death, even police couldn’t come close. -said a grieving relative
