Quote from Baza: "Residents of Belgorod had complained to the police about some undertakers who had disposed of zinc coffins in an ordinary rubbish dump. Coffins like these are used to deliver soldiers who died in the special military operation [as the Russian Federation calls the war in Ukraine – ed.]."
Details: According to Baza, several coffins, some complete with icons and packages [an old Slavic custom, which foresees that icons and small ‘burial kits’ are put into coffins before funerals], were dumped near some garages on Privolnaya Street.
The coffins were noticed by local residents when they brought rubbish to the dump. It later turned out that this had been arranged by a local funeral company.
The bodies of invaders who died in Ukraine are delivered in zinc coffins, and their relatives then buy other ones made of wood for their funerals.
Background:
As of 30 October, the Russians’ total combat losses in Ukraine amount to about 71,200 soldiers and thousands of units of military equipment.
