DONATIONS SLOWING DOWN NOW — We started the month at a modest but steady pace. It’s slowing now, which in turn extends the duration of the drive, and ultimately puts in jeopardy the whole organization. With a hint of concern and urgency.

FOCUS | 'It's as Tall as a Person': Russians Reveal Their Secret Dump of Dead Soldiers in Donetska
Allison Quinn, The Daily Beast
Quinn writes: "Russian authorities in Ukraine's occupied city of Donetsk are tossing the bodies of their dead soldiers in a secret dump 'by the thousands' and charging their loved ones money to find them."

excerpts: 

That’s according to a new audio recording released by Ukraine’s Security Service on Tuesday, which is purportedly an intercepted telephone conversation between two Russians discussing how one of their missing friends was finally found.

In the two-and-a-half minute recording, an unidentified man tells his female relative that the fate of “Inna’s brother” is finally known after he went missing a month ago.

The disturbing intercept comes after Al Jazeera on Monday released footage of refrigerated train cars holding the unclaimed bodies of Russian troops killed in Ukraine. Inside, there appeared to be human-size bodies stacked on top of each other in white bags. Ukrainian authorities said Moscow has refused to take the bodies back home, apparently to keep the lid on the sky-high death toll.
