Western Claims of Russian Mass Graves Near Mariupol Another Fake News Hoax--I Know, I Went To See
Youtube ^ | April 24, 2022 | Eva K Bartlett

According to Western media, now copy-paste reporting the same claims, Russian forces apparently secretly buried *up to 9,000 Mariupol civilians* in "mass graves" in a town just west of the city.

Except, it never happened, there is no mass grave.

It's actually just a normal, small, cemetery…no pits, no mass graves, just an orderly cemetery whose grave diggers refuted Western claims.

On April 23, with journalist Roman Kosarev, I went to Mangush (Manhush in Ukrainian), found a normal cemetery setting, and spoke with the men responsible for burials, who refused the allegations and said they buried each person in a coffin, including, they noted, Ukrainian soldiers.

I don’t agree with you that Trump is a BUFFOON (as he would put it).

folks claiming it was a mass grave containing 9,000 bodies
……………………………………………………………………………..
Do you have link for that? I haven’t seen any media articles claiming that there were 9,000 bodies buried in the new graves.
*******************************************************************

Your wish is my command— from the “trustworthy” (sarc) NPR. There are many others who carried the stories.

I support Trump as the bull needed to run through “The China Shop” of the Establishment.

Mariupol has taken severe damage. It is difficult to believe there are no significant casualties among the civilian population.

How many have died, and how they have been buried is unknown, as far as I can tell.

Visiting a small town and a cemetery tells us something about that town and cemetery. It may tell us something about reporting. It tells us little about civilian casualties.

Lots of propaganda and lies on both sides.

It is standard practice in war.

So the Russians have murdered 1,000s of Ukrainians, but they’ve given them INDIVIDUAL graves. Hokay, that’s so much better. For a second there, I thought the Russian leaders were bad people.

Lot of deep state shrills on here trying desperately to keep people in line. Don’t let anyone go off script!

“most notably the disproven allegation that the White Helmets stage rescues and “recycle” children in its videos.”

It is absolutely factual that the White Helmets were staging videos.

The satellite data is the most useful data in this case. The original source on Telegram seems to be exaggerating, since the satellite images don't show anywhere near 9000 graves.

And NPR did what they often do. They'll spout whatever makes their donors feel good and send them more money.

Get ready to be called a Putinista, Russian Stooge, or worse cause we can’t have any truth here about the falsehoods published to entice us into a war with Russia.

Ukrainians needlessly renamed it Manhush. Culturally genocidal.

RT’s website writter


So that outs her as a pro-Russian ‘journalist’ - nothing she puts out is to be taken as truth. And in fact, makes her just another Putin bot.

Notice all the breaks in her video. Why? What was edited out?

“Do not trust” writ large over her and her ‘work’.

Somebody trusted by the Russian government, and being escorted by a Russian state media reporter Roman Kosarev.

Whose work has been put forth on FR as someone exposing the truth. What a crock. Of Russian Propaganda ...

Don’t photos online (taken on a cell phone, say) usually have some sort of metadata attached to include location?

Cross reference that data with the satellite photos of the claimed mass graves.
