There is a military cemetery in Kyiv.

There are crosses lined up there.

The crosses say "Unknown Defender of Ukraine."

Under each cross there is an ID number.

This number shows that identification is in progress.

A photo was on one grave.

The photo was of soldier Ihor Yalynych.

After four years of searching, his children Stanislav and Oleksandra found their father.

Identifying the dead is a long-lasting pain.

This is one of the longest wounds of war.

Some graves may stay without names forever.

In the early war, there was no place to bury unknown dead.

The national military cemetery was finished in January.

Now more than 300 bodies are buried under numbered crosses.

Ihor Yalynych died in eastern Ukraine in April 2022.

His body was in the occupied area.

After the liberation in September 2022, the body was recovered.

It took the family four years to get the remains back.

They went through many steps like DNA tests.

Stanislav said the police lost the case file.

The Mykolaiv police did not address this claim.

In Ukrainian military funerals, the flag on the coffin is given to the family.

Soldiers joined early in the war. They did not have to give DNA samples.

So there was no database.

About half of Ukrainian soldiers have given samples now.
