Class with a Capital K.

The Ukrainians show the Russians how.

From the Daily Telegraph.

Russia is reportedly refusing to take bodies of its soldiers killed in fighting in Ukraine, with corpses piling up in refrigerated train cars outside the Ukrainian capital.

Col Volodymyr Lyamzin, Ukraine’s chief civil-military liaison officer, said several hundred bodies have been collected from the battlefield in the Kyiv and Chernihiv region and brought to a railyard outside the Ukrainian capital. 

They are being kept on a train until the Russian government agrees to take them.

“Ukrainian authorities are dealing with this issue because Russia refuses to take them,” he told Al Jazeera.

“Each body testifies to war crimes. If they keep refusing to take the bodies, Ukraine will bury them.”

Civilized nations treat war dead, even foes, with respect. Most western nations do so, including Ukraine. Russia does not. Russia is not civilized.

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
