In recorded testimony in Ukrainian, an unidentified speaker said officials told her her son died and was identified by DNA after a bus burned; she said she buried him and visited the cemetery about two to three times a week.
An unidentified speaker in the recorded remarks said officials told her her son had died and been identified by DNA after a bus fire, and that she buried him and visited the cemetery repeatedly while she grieved.
The speaker said, in Ukrainian, “Я вам сумну звістку даю, ваш син загинув по ДНК” ("I give you the sad news: your son died, identified by DNA"), and described being told at the time to take calming medication because of the stress. She also said relatives or officials warned the carcass identification could be mistaken because of shared surnames, and that someone named “Горбачов” suggested it might not be her son because she had not seen him directly.
