Oleksiy Yukov, a 40-year-old Ukrainian volunteer dedicated to recovering the deceased from the country's ongoing conflict, was killed on August 5 when he stepped on a landmine while performing his mission [1]. Yukov founded the Platsdarm organization, which has spent more than two decades locating and retrieving the remains of those lost in war, including both Russian soldiers and civilians [1].
Despite suffering severe injuries in a previous mine explosion in 2022 that cost him a leg and an eye, Yukov continued his work after recovering [1]. In a social media post, he articulated his commitment to the task, stating: "Remote mines, shelling, drones — everything is against you. But you go and do everything to ensure that every soul returns home" [1]. Reflecting on his approach to recovering Russian military personnel, Yukov noted: "When they say: 'Let them rot,' I do not agree. This is how we fight for every soul" [1].
Ukraine held an Orthodox funeral service for Yukov at Saint Volodymyr Cathedral in central Kyiv on Saturday, where thousands gathered to pay their respects [1].
