An estimated 6,000 soldiers have died in the conflict in Ukraine. It's difficult for representatives of the Ukrainian government to go into rebel-held territory like Donetsk to retrieve the bodies of their fallen soldiers.

He tells Jo Fidgen about the difficult and distressing task of retrieving the dead.
