Mobile DNA identifying war dead in Ukraine

There are 9 mobile DNA vans being used in Ukraine to identify war dead, as reported here, 6 provided by American philanthropist Howard G. Buffett. The mobile vans equipped with rapid DNA technology are able to complete identifications in a few hours. Without the vans, it would be taking years to make identifications, due to transportation issues and the tremendous backlog caused by thousands of war casualties. That delay would leave families in the dark and also interfere with war crimes investigations.
