The Ukrainian government is using facial recognition software to identify dead Russian soldiers, Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov told Reuters.

Beyond identification, he said, the information is being used to contact the relatives of the dead.

"As a courtesy to the mothers of those soldiers, we are disseminating this information over social media to at least let families know that they they've lost their sons, and to then enable them to come to collect their bodies," Fedorov told the wire service through a translator.

The facial recognition tech being used is provided by a controversial startup named Clearview AI.

Getting news to the Russian mothers that they aren't getting from state media or the military will eventually sway public opinion enough to cause Putin problems.
