Ukraine's counteroffensive brings heavy casualties as families contend with grief, loss

Kharkiv, Ukraine — In a scene that is all too common, young boys buried their father, Yevgeny Hutnik, in Kharkiv on Sunday, 10 days after he died fighting against Russian forces in the eastern Donetsk region.

His casket was lowered into the ground alongside other fallen soldiers from Kharkiv. The piece of land carved out for them at a cemetery continues to grow. In the short space of time CBS News was at the cemetery, two new bodies were brought to be buried, an almost daily occurrence.

Ukraine never releases figures of their losses in the war against Russia. But in the three months since their counteroffensive kicked off, there appears to have been a sharp increase in casualties.
