Ukrainian law enforcement equipment was purchased by American public figure and businessman Howard Buffett.
Three modern DNA laboratories were given by the American public figure and businessman Howard Buffett to the investigators of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Kharkiv region. In November, the millionaire visited the territories of Ukraine liberated from the Russian invaders, in particular, in Izium. This was reported by the communications department of the regional police department on its Facebook page on Monday, December 19.
“On Tuesday, one of the laboratories will go to Izyum, the other complexes will work in Kharkiv,” the message said.
Sergei Bolvinov, head of the investigative department, said that the resulting laboratory complex will allow for rapid DNA analysis and thus speed up the process of identifying bodies.
“We will work in parallel with relatives who have information about their relatives, this machine will allow us to compare these DNA within minutes. That means, within one day we will be able to perform such an analysis and only then can we determine as quickly as It’s possible for relatives to understand where their loved ones are,” he added.
The head of the regional department of the National Police, Vladimir Timoshko, said that so far more than 900 bodies of the dead have been dug up in the occupied territories of the region.
“Since September 7, police investigators together with the prosecutor’s office (in the occupied territories – IF) have seized more than 900 bodies of the dead. And such seizures are happening every day . A significant number of corpses have not been identified,” he said.
According to him, more than 200 bodies have not yet been identified.
Police added that another DNA laboratory will be delivered to Kharkiv after the test.
The cost of the four laboratory complex is $1.7 million.
It will be recalled that the police exhumed the body of a woman who died due to the military attack of the invaders.
As already reported, in the village of Kazachya Lopan, the bodies of two local residents, a father and daughter, who died during the work, were found and dug up.
