Remains of Belarusian soldier who died during Great Patriotic War in Ukraine brought back to Belarus

The remains and personal belongings of a Belarusian soldier, junior sergeant Timofei Morozov, who died in Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War, have been returned to his homeland. His relatives have not been found, that is why a decision was made to bury the remains in a mass grave. Back then, nearly 1,200 Belarusian border guards died in Kirovograd Region, Ukraine. Search missions helped to identify the remains of some of them. Now, there is a special programme in Ukraine aimed at finding Red Army soldiers and transferring their remains back to their homeland, Belarus.
