Ukraine said on Thursday that hundreds of bodies were found in a mass grave in the town of Izyum, in the eastern region of Kharkiv, a town whose control was regained by Ukrainian forces after months of Russian rule.
Serhii Bolvinov, chief investigator of the police in the Kharkiv region, told British broadcaster Sky News that there were around 440 bodies at the scene and that initial analyzes suggest that these people were shot dead, following mine explosions or hit by air strikes. .
“For me, it was especially shocking and horrible. [essa
descoberta], this is a crime against humanity. It shouldn’t be like this in a civilized world in 2022. It’s a horrible and unpleasant story from any point of view. I am confident that those responsible for this evil will be punished,” Bolvinov said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who visited Izyum on Wednesday, has been urging people in reclaimed areas in eastern and southern Ukraine to report war crimes committed by Russian troops.
