Shock and disgust caused by the images posted by Associated Press from the Kharkiv war of Ukraine and show bodies of – possibly Russian – soldiers to lie in the middle of the road forming the military symbol of Russia, Z.
According to an AP article, “the outskirts of Kharkiv look like outdoor morgue, where the dead are on the streets unsolicited and unexplained, sometimes for weeks on end, as Ukrainian and Russian forces fight for control of the area. There are dead soldiers, apparently Russians, four of them arranged in a Z like the military symbol found on Russian armored vehicles, visible on Russian drones constantly passing overhead».
How exactly one of these things happened will probably never be known, the Associated Press points out.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, has been under constant Russian attack since the start of the war in late February. With the Russian attack intensifying in the east, the Russian attack has become more fierce.
Associated Press reporters saw the corpses formed in a Z, wearing the white arm bands they usually use the Russian soldiers and with some Russian medical kits next to them. They were on the front line fighting for days.
There was no explanation for the formation of Z – a symbol of the Russian invasion. Either it could be considered war crime or disrespect for the dignity of the dead, “the AP added.
Then it will follow research on their identityto try to alert their families.
Alongside, three bodies were also found in an apartment, which had been bombed, but it was not clear what killed them.
Bombings and airstrikes are a daily threat throughout the region.
In Washington on Monday, a senior U.S. defense official said that Ukrainian forces in the last 48 hours they managed to repel the Russian forces farther from Kharkov, despite being bombed from the air. The Russians have now been pushed back about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of the city in the Donbas area, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
