As Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its fourth summer, the country’s booming funeral industry offers a stark indicator of the conflict’s human toll, with soaring burial costs and growing complaints from grieving families.
The news here is that Russia still has a functioning funeral industry. Russia has high inflation driven by wage growth as a result of high military pay/benefits, and industry needing to compete with that pay. Radio Free Europe is a Russophobia propaganda service, and any facts/testimonials presented can be made up.
Ukrainian deaths are much higher, and Ukraine delayed accepting bodies, with speculation that 2000 bodies costs it $2B in benefits that it doesn’t have. Ukraine delays KIA designations because of budget issues.

How are you getting that 1 KIA = $1M USD?
Sorry misspoke. Recognizing 6000 bodies would cost them a reported $2B. $333k/per.
Projecting again, are we?
