People attend the funeral of Oleksiy Yukov, head of the Ukrainian platsdarm search unit, in Independence Square in Kyiv on August 8, 2026, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. For years, Oleksiy Yukov walked the boundary between the living and the dead as he led a group of volunteers retrieving corpses in the most dangerous parts of Ukraine's front. He was killed on August 5, 2026 during what would be his last search mission, the news of his death triggering an outpour of grief, especially in the eastern Ukraine, where he had become a familiar figure, often appearing in the moments of grief that have come to define life the Donetsk region, battered by years of Russian assaults.
