Authorities confirm nearly 60 bodies have been exhumed from the mass grave showing signs of “a violent death”
Less than a week after seven months since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the horrors of the armed conflict are being exposed. The stamps of the blood spilled in Bucha, Irpin, Mariúpol or Borodianka are also repeated in areas that Kiev’s armed forces are out of control of Moscow, such as Izium. A trail of corpses and torture chambers have been found in this city in the Kharkov region in recent days, demonstrating the brutality of the Kremlin in its neighboring country. Some facts for which the Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelensky, has branded the authors of «Nazis».
The statements are taking place as excavation work continues at the mass graves found in the recently liberated city of Izium, where “new evidence of torture against the people buried there” has been found, Zelensky said on Sunday. The horror does not end in this war. “More than ten torture chambers have already been found in the liberated areas of the Kharkov region, in various towns and villages. Torture was a widespread practice in the occupied territory. That’s what the Nazis did. That’s what the Russians do,” he says emphatically.
The politician who has become a symbol of leadership during this conflict indicated that “when the occupiers fled, they also threw their torture devices”, so that in several corners of Izium there is evidence of Russian brutality during the time he controlled the site. In this sense, Zelensky explained that “even in the regional train station of Kozachai Lopan, they have found a torture room and electric torture tools.”
Yesterday, the international community unanimously condemned the crimes committed in this Kharkov municipality and its leaders demanded the creation of a “special court” to hold Moscow accountable. This Sunday, Zelensky warned that the culprits will receive an equal response “both on the battlefield and in the courtroom”.
“We will establish all the identities of those who tortured and abused, who brought this atrocity from Russia here to our Ukrainian land,” he said, declaring that Ukraine will one day regain control of the rest of the territories. those “still under occupation”, such as “Kherson, Berdyansk, Donetsk, Lugansk, Mariupol and, of course, Crimea… Ukraine will return. Ukraine will win!
Meanwhile, Kiev authorities confirmed on Sunday that about 60 bodies have been exhumed so far from the mass grave found in Izium. “The bodies of 16 men and 26 women, all civilians, will be handed over for further analysis.” Among them are also 17 soldiers. “Most show signs of violent death.”
The war, which has already killed 390 children, continues with several battles at the front. East of Kharkov, Kiev reported the deaths of four health workers as a result of a “massive” Russian artillery strike during the evacuation of civilians from a medical center in Strilhecha. In Donetsk, pro-Russian authorities have denounced another Ukrainian attack on a prison in Elenovka, with no deaths.
