A “mass grave” has been discovered in Izium, the city recaptured by the Ukrainian army from Russian invaders a few days ago as part of the counter-offensive it has launched in the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced late on Thursday.
“We want the world to know what the Russian occupation has caused,” Zelensky said in a video message, without elaborating on the number of dead buried there or the causes of their deaths. An investigation has been launched, “we expect more verified information tomorrow (ie today), added the Ukrainian president.
Earlier, a Ukrainian police official, Serhiy Botvinov, told Sky News that a mass grave of around 440 people had been discovered in Izium. Some of the victims were shot, others were killed in shelling, he claimed.
For his part, President Zelensky compared Izium to Butsa and Mariupol, cities that became symbols of the atrocities of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Russian army is spreading death everywhere in its path and must be held accountable, Zelensky said, adding: “The world really needs to hold Russia accountable for this war. We will do everything for it.”
