Hundreds of frontline cemeteries will be shut to Ukrainians for Orthodox Easter over fears of dangerous war debris and unexploded ordnance. But for one village, residents are grateful that demining teams were able to clear one of the two local cemeteries
But in the formerly Russian-occupied village of Kobzartsi in the southwest Mykolaiv region, residents say they are hugely grateful that demining officers have been able to clear one of the two local cemeteries of hazards to allow them to visit.
Many Ukrainians visit the graves of their loved ones around Easter to pay their respects and tidy up the graves. The second cemetery was not demined and 74-year-old Lidiia Osypenko said: "We will go only after the deminers. We will not go without them. It is dangerous to go just like this."
