Not far from the Ukrainian capital Kiev, according to the mayor, 132 shot civilians have been found in the city of Makariv. Most of the dead were found in mass graves, Wadym Tokar said on Ukrainian television on Friday.
Tokar accused the crime of Russian soldiers who, until recently, had occupied several locations in the region. The information has not yet been independently verified.
City currently has no electricity or gas supply
The village, more than 50 kilometers west of Kiev, was about 40 percent destroyed, the mayor said. There is currently no electricity or gas supply.
Just under a week ago, the bodies of hundreds of civilians were found in Bucha, also on the outskirts of Kiev. The images caused international outrage. Kiev also blames the Russian troops for these atrocities. Moscow denies that.
Reason for rocket attack on train station still unclear
According to an insider, the United States believes that the attack on a train station in eastern Ukraine was carried out by Russia with a short-range missile. Kramatorsk may have been hit by an SS-21, said a senior US military official who declined to be named. However, the reason for the attack is unclear. “We do not believe in the Russians’ denials that they were not responsible,” the insider said.
