Politician Lev Shlosberg said that Russia will not organize funerals for servicemen who died during the war in Ukraine. He wrote about this in his telegram.

According to Schlosberg, “no funerals of the dead are planned, no bodies in coffins are going to be brought to Russia, farewells and funerals are not going to be held.”

The “lesson” of 2014 was taken into account crudely and primitively: now the last place for the body of a dead soldier will be a mobile crematorium. And relatives will be informed that the man “died while performing military service duties” “outside the places of permanent deployment.” And where the ashes will be scattered, only the participants in the special operation will know.

The politician expressed the opinion that from the relatives of the victims they would take signatures on non-disclosure of the death of a relative, “based on the interests of the Russian Federation.” “There is no war. There are no dead. There are no graves. People just won’t. Forever,” Schlosberg wrote.

On the morning of February 26, Ukrainian authorities announced that 3,500 Russian soldiers had been killed in the country. Kiev turned to the Red Cross with a request to help deliver the bodies of the dead to Russia.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has not yet officially reported any deaths as a result of the actions of Russian troops in Ukraine. Since Russia is not formally at war, this data is classified.

In 2014, the Pskovskaya Guberniya publication, of which Shlosberg was the director, was the first among the Russian media to publish a report on the funeral of the Russian military who died in the clashes in the Donbas, in which Russia denied participation.
