Police say it is “one of the largest cemeteries” discovered in Russian-occupied territories
The horror experienced in Izium comes to light. Ukrainian police have discovered a new mass grave containing more than 440 bodies in the recently liberated city in the Kharkov region. “It is one of the largest cemeteries” found in areas controlled by the Moscow army, Serhii Bolvinov, chief of the Kharkov police investigation department, said Thursday.
Ukrainian President Volodímir Zelensky has regretted the news. “We want the world to know what caused the Russian occupation,” he said, adding that the investigation to clarify the causes of the deaths has already begun and that tomorrow “they will have more verified and clear information.” “.
At the moment, according to the region’s police chief, the victims are known to have been “murdered, some died from artillery fire, others from so-called mine explosive injuries. Some from air strikes.” “Many bodies are still unrecognized, so the cause of death will be determined during the investigation,” he stressed.
The bodies will be exhumed and sent for forensic examination. As can be seen from the published photos of the “mass funeral”, some of the bodies are buried with wooden crosses on the ground, while others are buried with “nothing”.
The Commissioner for Missing Persons, Oleg Kotenko, claimed that the Russians themselves had published a video of this funeral in Izium when they checked the city, which is why Kiev was looking for the site. He also warned that a mass grave containing at least 25 Ukrainian soldiers has been found, bringing the number of new graves in the municipal cemetery to more than 460.
