A mass grave of Ukrainian military and civilians was found on September 15 in Izyum, Kharkiv region, liberated from Russian invaders. The exhumation of the bodies of the victims of the invaders continues.
This Channel 24 was told by military expert Oleg Zhdanov. According to him, the information was confirmed that the infidels forced local residents to cooperate, threatening to be shot.Zhdanov said that most of the bodies there showed signs of torture, and many had their hands tied. In addition, there was the body of a man who, in addition to his tied hands, also had a rope around his neck.
“There are unrealistic atrocities – there are bodies of servicemen of the 93rd OMBr Kholodny Yar, children and people with traces of shrapnel probably received as a result of hostilities or shelling in the city,” the military expert said.
How this will affect European aid
< p>Europe is shocked by the horrors that the Russians committed in the area of the city of Izyum. Yes, European representatives are on site and record all the data. In addition, the entire world press was there.
This will greatly help us in the future – both in obtaining military-technical assistance and in collecting materials for the international tribunal, – noted Zhdanov.
In his opinion, it is impossible to end this war without carrying out a trial of the main war criminals. Even in absentia, the Russian military who committed these atrocities must be punished.
