Mass Graves Discovered Near Recaptured City of Izyum, Ukraine Says

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that “a mass burial site” has been found in Izyum, a city that Ukrainian forces recaptured from Russian troops during the recent counteroffensive. President Joe Biden announced that the US would give Ukraine as much as $600 million in additional weaponry from Pentagon stockpiles

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Uzbekistan, as Moscow struggles with significant military setbacks in Ukraine. Putin promised a briefing on China’s “concerns,” while Xi said the allies could bring “stability and positive energy” to the world.

They are all buried there, because the UA gov. refused to pick up the
bodies of thousands of people, who were left on fields around Izum,
after the fights. So, the Russians tried to reach out to UA military
commanders to collect the bodies and since nobody had collected them,
they just buried them, following orthodox customs and even wrote their names and military regiment/formation numbers so they can be found and identified afterwards. That is all, this
story is about.

Surely a mass grave is hundreds of mixed bodies on a pit, surely anyone can see that regardless however unnecessary these deaths were someone has gone to lengths to separate and bury each body individually with some respect atleast?

[BigFooted]

This is a strange one as I wouldnt call these mass graves unless the camera appears to make them smaller and unless you guys are the ones marking them as you find them? Little to no information only leads to assumptions and mistrust.

[Baucie_Bauce]

Aren't marked graves different from
a mass grave?
Obvious propaganda

[CafèZelberto]

So sad in this day and age, thought we’d passed this as human beings

[sweettooth]

These are marked graves not a mass grave. Please get your facts straight before reporting.

Здесь нет разбросанных на улице тел, похоронили по человечески, и солдат, и мирных, которые гибли в ходе обстрелов

I am so sorry, that the Ukrainian Army doesn’t really care for their lost soldiers. Those soldiers were killed 6 months ago, as the occupants came. The occupants offered the Ukraine to build a corridor for them to take the soldiers. But Selenskij didn’t accept it. A weak ago the occupants should leave Isjum with no time to take the munition and tanks, but as Selenski tells us “they had time to build the crosses”. One more Butcha, he tells us. Well, too much drugs, Selenski!

I thought "mass graves" are supposed to be hidden and not marked.

[simsreject]

Ukraine said 2 days before they "discovered" this cemetery that they were arresting Russian collaborators.

This is just like the dead bodies they found in the street 3 days after retaking a town.

These gentle people whose bloodlines run for me even though I'm in America. I pray they rest in heaven 🙏 above

[pinkstink]

Hillary's emails might be down there 😆

[JustJohn]

They gotta open them up and move the bodies now. I'm sure their family members will want their kids back

[rogermoore]

Look at all of the Orc trolls. Z marks the spot. Center Mass or fire for effect.

[Kalugaved]

Ukranians lost soldiers but Russian buried them.

[BlackOps]

Lol yet Ukraine wouldn't be taking time to make actual graves, and just fire blindly at their own villages when retaking them etc. It's just 1-sided as if Russia has been doing all wrong in my opinion.

[josiahguerrero]

This here is ur president and Putin fault !

[jimdoe]

Shout out to the Azov battalion for killing there own

[Braveheart.]

Thou shalt not kill'..

Animals nor humans
