But there were no such honours for Andriy.

Ukrainian law classifies his death as a non-combat loss, meaning no compensation and no burial with honours.

Victoria says the stigma she carries has left her isolated.

What hurts me the most is that my husband was defending this country.

Even if he did take his own life, he spent a year and a half protecting this land.

She feels let down by the official investigation, which has since been reopened after the prosecutor acknowledged shortcomings.

And she is not alone in feeling overlooked.

The ever-growing military cemetery near Frankivsk is a stark symbol of Ukraine's losses.

Kateryna comes here every other day.

Her only son, Orest, is buried here.

He was just 25.

Katerina tells us her son was a shy young man with impaired eyesight.

He was stopped by a conscription patrol on the street and sent to the front line as a communications officer.

He was torn from his normal life, placed in unbearable conditions, with a constant threat to his own life.

Then came the news.

He had taken his own life.

You had a child.

He describes the desperate conditions and need for support.
