Russian authorities are building large complexes in the cities of Kursk and Rostov-on-Don designed to sort, analyze, and store corpses of militants killed in Russia’s war on Ukraine, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR) press service reported on Telegram on May 31.

Each of these complexes is over 4,000 square meters in area.

The facilities will include:

·         Points for conducting investigative actions and research on bodies

·         Refrigerated warehouses with cold storage for 1,000 corpses

·         Warehouses with coffins and other funeral decorations

·         A mourning hall

The HUR noted that the planned cost of the construction of the complexes for the killed Russian troops in Rostov-on-Don is estimated at about 600 million rubles ($7.4 million), and in Kursk at more than 800 million rubles ($9.9 million).

In addition, the cost of refrigeration equipment is estimated at more than one billion rubles ($12.3 million) for each complex.

HUR states that Russia can no longer hide the scale of its personnel losses in the war on Ukraine.

The construction of these facilities inside Russia confirms the fact that Putin's regime is sending its occupation army to a deadly conveyor belt, but cannot cope with the flow of casualties, the statement said.

The military intelligence also stressed that every Russian soldier who has not committed war crimes can still surrender.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
