In a military cemetery in Kyiv, a brother and sister traverse the rows of crosses, bearing a bouquet of carnations.

Each cross in this section is inscribed with the identical epitaph: โ€œunknown defender of Ukraine,โ€ accompanied by an identification number below and a notation that the process of identification remains ongoing.

Among the graves, one is particularly conspicuous: affixed beneath the epitaph is a photograph, added posthumously, depicting Ihor Yalynychโ€”a soldier last seen alive in the Kharkiv region in 2022.

The identification of the deceased constitutes a reckoning that will persist for years, ranking among the most enduring wounds inflicted by Russiaโ€™s war in Ukraine.

Ihor Yalynych met his demise in April 2022 in eastern Ukraine, having served in the military since 2015, the year subsequent to the eruption of armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and Russia's illicit annexation of Crimea.

Upon the initiation of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, he was assigned to a brigade stationed in eastern Ukraine.

Having emerged unscathed from his inaugural mission and forwarded photographs to his son, he subsequently failed to return from his ensuing assignment.

The National Police of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region has confirmed to the Associated Press that an investigation is currently underway concerning the deaths of a cohort of Ukrainian servicemen, whose remains were discovered in the region in April 2022, as well as into the subsequent process of their identification.

Ihorโ€™s remains lay interred in the occupied sector of the region, yet were only retrieved following the territoryโ€™s liberation in September 2022.

The family was compelled to navigate a labyrinthine bureaucratic apparatus, inclusive of DNA verification, before they could secure the return of his bodyโ€”a process that spanned four years.

In response to a written inquiry from the Associated Press, the Mykolaiv police did not address the familyโ€™s assertion regarding a missing file or procedural delay, stating only that no criminal proceedings had been initiated concerning Ihorโ€™s identification.

Owing to the absence of the file, Stanislav was only permitted to provide a DNA sample for comparative analysis approximately six months ago, with the subsequent match being confirmed two months thereafter.

However, when there is no one to receive the flag of an unknown soldier, the state assumes this solemn duty, accepting each flag and retaining it until the soldier can be identified, as articulated by Veterans Affairs Minister Natalia Kalmykova.

A contributing factor to the proliferation of unidentified soldiers stems from the invasion's inception, Kalmykova explained.

Those who enlisted during the initial years were not obligated to provide DNA specimens, consequently, no repository existed; such a database was only established subsequently.

In instances where no sample exists within the database, identification necessitates the voluntary participation of a close relative; however, many are precluded from doing so, as they reside in occupied territories, are abroad, are estranged, remain unaware of the situation, or have simply vanished.

Since the commencement of the full-scale invasion, over 40,000 biological samples extracted from unidentified human remains have been catalogued, according to Ruslan Abbasov, the deputy director of the State Scientific Research Forensic Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A corresponding registry meticulously documents the association between each number and its respective body, thereby enabling the precise location of the grave upon a successful match between the number and its corresponding DNA profile.

For families, identification transcends mere closure; until a death is formally confirmed, relatives are unable to settle an inheritance, remarry, or claim the compensation owed to the families of the fallen.
