“There are corpses with ropes around their necks, their hands tied, with broken limbs or bullet woundss. Many men have had their genitals mutilated,” Sinegubov continued, citing “evidence of horrific torture” the population suffered, according to him.
Several hundred graves with a cross and a mass grave were discovered in mid-September near the city of Izium, which was under Russian occupation for several months before it was seized by Ukrainian forces.
Ukrainian police also reported discovering “torture chambers” in the region, including Izium.
Russian forces have been accused of multiple abuses of lands which were under their control in Ukraine.
In Bucha on the outskirts of Kiev after Russian forces withdrew from the area at the end of March, bodies of civilians who had been executed in cold blood were discovered.
Moscow denies committing these crimes and has called the discovery of the Izium graves a “lie”.
