"Ukrainian Family's 16-Month Ordeal to Honor Fallen Veteran in Bucha Finally Resolved"

After 16 months of uncertainty and waiting, the family of Ukrainian veteran Roman Shadlovskyi finally laid him to rest in Bucha. Shadlovskyi's body was found in a mass grave, along with six others, three months after Russian forces brutally killed both civilians and military personnel in the city. It took a year to confirm his identity through DNA testing. Shadlovskyi's family and friends remember him as a good-hearted young man who always smiled. Many other families in Bucha are still awaiting DNA test results to properly bury their loved ones. The town remains haunted by the horrors of the Russian occupation, with memories of the war never far from the surface.
