New: Ukraine has run more than 8,600 facial recognition searches on dead or captured Russians in the 50 days since the war began, using the scans to find the soldiers' social media profiles - and send photos of their corpses to their families back home https://wapo.st/3KHnkxE
Where would they get all these corpses from?
The only places Russia withdrew from was in the north, and there was only a month of conflict there. Russia would have retrieved most of its dead itself. Well Russia also withdrew from north of Nikolayev, but that was a minor advance.
The rest of the places Russia has only been advancing in, and even if Russian soldiers were ambushed or an assault was repelled, I doubt anyone would take the time to catalogue all the dead
And how many people have passport photos of their faces as their social media pics? How would they match a dead man's face to any one of millions of social media accounts?
Complete rubbish all this.
