KYIV. Sept 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – A hand with blue-and-yellow bracelets from a burial in Izium, which photo has spread all over the world, is a fragment of the body of serviceman of the 93rd Kholodny Yar brigade Serhiy Sova from Nikopol.

"This is the hand of my father Sova Serhiy Oleksandrovych, a warrior and defender of the 93rd mechanized brigade Kholodny Yar, a resident of Nikopol who has been fighting for the freedom of our country since 2014. Mom recognized our dad by the tattoos on his body, after the exhumation of the bodies of mass graves in Izium," the eldest son of the deceased, Marat, wrote in a letter to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

He asked the head of state to facilitate the faster return of the body of his father home for a decent burial.

Marat also stressed that it would be an honor for him to accept his father’s award posthumously from the hands of the president.
