Ukraine War: The Donbas body collector who has lost count

Aleksey Yukov and his men recover dead bodies of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers killed in combat in the Donbas
Aleksey Yukov has lost count of the bodies he's recovered in the Donbas over the past five months. He says he thinks it's more than 300, but he can't be sure.
Aleksey and his men drive a refrigerated white van, marked with a red cross, to carry out their work. They often drive towards danger to collect the bodies and remains of dead Ukrainian and Russian troops and civilians.
"We work with no days off. Constantly. We drive, we investigate, we transport, we search, all the time," he says.
It's grim work too - digging up the decomposing bodies of Russian soldiers buried in shallow trenches, or gathering their remains from burnt out armoured vehicles.
According to the United Nations, more than 5,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed since Russia invaded in February.
There are no official figures for how many Ukrainian troops have died. But one adviser to President Zelensky told the BBC last month that between 100-200 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed every day. On average it's at the lower end of that scale.
Aleksey says that figure sounds realistic to him. But he believes the Russians are losing three times that number.
One Ukrainian soldier we spoke to, who had fought in Severodonetsk, described Russian tactics as similar to the First World War - with waves of their infantry running into a hail of bullets.

Who does Aleksey think is winning the war? "It's not about who is winning," he says. "It's about who's right. They [Russia] came here and that was unforgivable".
Every Ukrainian soldier we spoke to said they still believed they could win. Even in units that had suffered combat casualties of more than half of the troops.
But it's taking its toll on the living as well as the dead. Aleksey hasn't seen his one-year-old daughter for months.
"This war has ruined the life you had and the one you've been building," he says.
He adds that at the end of the day it all catches up: "That feeling when you are empty inside. The unfillable void".
Why Russia wants to seize Ukraine's eastern Donbas
Death comes quickly in the Donbas. Russian shells take mere seconds to land, and they're being used in industrial quantities. On average Russia is firing 20,000 artillery shells a day. Ukraine is able to respond with just 6,000.
There's no respite from the sound of heavy shelling at a military medical station we visit. The chief medical officer - who only wants to be known as Dr Anatoliy for his own safety - describes the situation on the frontline as "fragile".
He shows us photographs of a badly damaged military ambulance - riddled with bullet holes and torn to shreds by shrapnel. Dr Anatoliy says the red cross painted on their vehicles mean nothing to Russians. Two more ambulances are waiting outside the building under camouflage nets - ready to go to pick up the injured.

We meet Tina and Polina, two front line medics.
Tina used to work at a children's hospital before she volunteered to join the army. She wipes away tears as she talks about the family she's now missing.
"The pain goes away, because you have a task: to get a person to a hospital alive" she says. I ask if she's scared. "Of course it's scary. When a shell lands nearby, everything shrinks inside you".
For every soldier killed many more are injured. Tina says she's not allowed to give numbers but adds "there are casualties almost every day, and not just one. Sometimes many, sometimes a lot".

Polina is just 21. The war's already cast a big shadow over her short life.
Her father and uncle are now prisoners in Russian-occupied Ukraine. She says she's trying her best not to let it get her down. She exercises and listens to music whenever she can - just to keep some sense of normality.
But Polina admits it's hard not to feel gloomy and depressed: "Apart from the bullets flying over your head, wounded people - and those wounded are often my friends and buddies - if you're taking it to heart it's going to be tough".
It's the troops she treats who give her hope.
"The guys who are injured and exhausted don't even want to go to hospital sometimes. They say I'm not going to leave my mates, we're holding the line together".

Departure from Varanasi: Embarking on an Unforgettable Journey
Embarking on a journey from the holy city of Varanasi, we set our sights on the iconic symbol of love and grandeur – the Taj Mahal in Agra. Little did we know that our adventure would not only lead us to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Taj Mahal but also unveil the marvels of modern highway infrastructure along the way.
The Road Less Traveled: Exploring the Agra-Etawah Toll Road
As we hit the road, our path led us onto the Agra-Etawah Toll Road – a modern marvel in highway construction. With smooth lanes and efficient toll booths, the journey became a seamless experience, allowing us to traverse the distance with comfort and ease. #Modernroadmakers have truly left their mark on this highway, transforming it into a corridor of convenience and efficiency.

The Majestic Taj Mahal: A Symbol of Eternal Love and Legacy
With the Taj Mahal standing majestically before us, we were left awe-struck by its sheer magnificence and intricate architectural details. #Tajmahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surpassed all expectations, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. The symphony of white marble, intricate carvings, and shimmering reflection in the pool captured the essence of eternal love and beauty.
Exploring Agra: Beyond the Taj Mahal
Our journey didn't end with the Taj Mahal; Agra had much more to offer. From the grandeur of Agra Fort to the serenity of Mehtab Bagh, each landmark added a layer of richness to our experience. The city's rich history and cultural heritage were evident at every turn, making our visit truly unforgettable.
Reflections on the Journey: A Tapestry of Memories
As we bid farewell to Agra and embarked on our return journey, we couldn't help but reflect on the tapestry of memories we had woven along the way. From the modern comforts of the Agra-Etawah Toll Road to the timeless beauty of the Taj Mahal, every moment was a testament to the wonders of travel and exploration.

UnemployedProfessors Review
It seems that UnemployedProfessors.com, as an online writing service, has been around since 2011. It had an interesting beginning, with an unemployed professor bitterly worried about being let go and not being able to find work. In fact, many professors were in the same situation as colleges and universities were downsizing to save money. He decided to start this academic writing company to provide custom writing opportunities for students and also to provide jobs for other professors in the same situation. The company's website tells its story through several cartoon-like visuals that are both engaging and somewhat humorous.
Services
Unemployed Professors offers college and university students a full range of academic jobs, including the following:
research paper
term paper
essay writing of all types and topics
case study
homework help
laboratory report
presentation
thesis and dissertation
review and analysis
editing
other academic work
The company boasts that it is better than others because it employs only professors - those who have been in college classrooms and assigned students' papers and essays.
Prices and discounts
The company has no set prices for all types of custom writing. This business model is becoming increasingly popular, but is not familiar to many students. Basically, a student registers with the company and then posts information about their writing needs. The student will be asked to provide all the details of the order. Once the order is placed, the registered writers offer the student their suggestions.
The student reviews the proposals, perhaps talks to several candidates, and then chooses a writer to do the work. From this point, there is a discussion board through which the student and writer can communicate - both remain anonymous.
Once the essay, paper, or other custom project is completed, the student will receive the product and either approve it or ask for changes as needed.
Due to the business model, there are no discounts available. The student, of course, can negotiate a price with the author if he or she has such skills.
When a price is agreed upon, the student deposits the payment into an account and then gives it back to the writer when he or she is satisfied with the product.
Suggestions and extras
Unemployed professors reddit is very clear about what all other writing services offer as "extras" - title page, bibliography, etc. They are standard on all academic papers. They are part of the standard package of all academic papers produced by their authors and are not considered extras. Any other additional services the client may need should be negotiated with the selected author.
Quality of the paper
It is difficult to assess the quality of writing without samples. We have made a rather public appeal to clients of this company to provide us with copies of student papers they have received from these authors. Fortunately, we received several responses and were able to assess the quality of one research paper, one book review, and one custom essay.
Our overall impression was that these papers were well structured and reflected scholarly writing. We saw no signs of writing in a foreign language.
