(EDITORS NOTE: Image depicts death) Oleksiy Yukov, 37, the Black Tulip group leader (left) and a member of the team are examine the remains of one of Russian soldiers killed in battles and abandoned by the Russian troops in Sviatohirsk. The Black Tulip NGO (Non-Governmental Organization), Ukraine was founded in the early 2010s to find and recover the remains of soldiers killed during the two world wars. But now the group is made up of about 100 volunteers and searching for victims of a contemporary war that started with a 2014 pro-Russian insurgency in Ukraine's east and engulfed the whole country after Moscow invaded on February 24. Black Tulip exhumes bodies of both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers on the battlefield and trades the bodies of deceased Russian soldiers they find for the bodies of deceased Ukrainian soldiers to return to their families.
