At least 440 graves found at Izium burial site, Ukraine says
A mass grave of Ukrainian soldiers and hundreds unknown buried civilians were found in the forest of recently retaken Izium.
Russian soldiers buried Ukrainian soldiers in a mass grave in the forest, said Ukraine’s Commissioner for Issues of Missing Persons under Special Circumstances Oleg Kotenko.
On Wednesday, Oleg Kotenko with a group of Ukrainian servicemen looked around the burial place in a forest in Izium.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said that Ukrainian authorities had found a mass burial site near a recently recaptured northeastern city previously occupied by Russian forces.
Russia’s forces left Izium and other parts of the Kharkiv region last week amid a stunning Ukrainian counteroffensive. On Wednesday, Zelenskyy made a rare trip outside Ukraine’s capital to watch the raising of the national flag at Izium’s city hall.
