Ukraine says hundreds of graves have been found outside Izyum, days after it was re-taken from Russia.

Wooden crosses, most of them marked with numbers, were discovered in a forest outside the city by advancing Ukrainian forces.

Authorities said they would start exhuming some of the graves on Friday.

It is not yet clear what happened to the victims, but early accounts suggest some may have died from shelling and a lack of access to healthcare.

Speaking on Friday, the head of Ukraine's national police service said most of the bodies belonged to civilians.

This is probably a bizarre question but who went to all the effort of putting crosses up on a *hidden* mass grave? Or were they put up after the graves were located?

Probably from the previous 8 years of Ukrainian shelling, etc. of the Southern, Southeastern and Eastern Ukraine PRIOR to Russia being asked to intervene via the SMO.

Just my take.

“The eastern Ukrainian countryside is being littered with Ukrainian Army mines while some towns have been abandoned as residents had to escape Ukrainian Army shelling.
Residents consider Americans who send money to the Ukrainian government in the belief that they are protecting them from the Russians to be “idiotic” and “foolish.””

That appears to be an official local cemetery. Some of the crosses are indeed aged.

Those are fresh graves.

A mass burial was found in Izyum, Kharkiv region. Necessary procedures have already begun. All bodies will be exhumed and sent for forensic examination. Expect more information tomorrow.

Yeah, Cambodians, Nazis, Mao, Japs in Nanking, Bolsheviks at Katyn, Isis, they all bury mass murder victims in individual graves and put up crosses with catalogue numbers. Very much the norm. /s

Who writes this drivel?

The pathetic Putin apologists remind me of the disgusting Nazi apologists.

The Neocons won’t let you discuss what led up to the SMO - you’re ONLY allowed to believe that Putin woke up one morning 7 months ago and decided to invade a country.

Now back to your cave...

Well that's pretty easy, Comrade Bob. Putin tried to turn Ukraine into another puppet state, and the Ukrainian people said no.

Ukraine protests after Yanukovych EU deal rejection

Some 10,000 Demonstrators in Independence Square carried Ukrainian and EU flags late on Friday and chanted "Ukraine is Europe".

Mr Yanukovych, who attended an EU summit in Lithuania on Friday cited pressure from Russia for his decision.

“Well that’s pretty easy, Comrade Bob.”

I’m trying to HELP YOU here. Putin woke up on Feb 24, was bored, and decided to invade another country. I’m telling others that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the West did contributed to that decision.

So, no need to be so sensitive.

“Sarcasm does not suit you very well, Comrade Bob.”

I missed the sarcasm, Neocon. Putin had a bad morning on Feb 24th, and so he took it out on Ukraine. As my wife, she’ll tell you that I had bad mornings too.

They must have put their best forensics experts on this...

Gotta keep this war going though...they’re only Ukrainians.

US don’t care, we needs us some war!

Send them suckers some more taxpayer money, 10% for the Big Guy!

A billion for Zelenskyy! He’s got to live good in Israel, don’t ya know!

Make ‘em some more missiles, we’re paying for it after all.

Fight, fight, fight Ukrainians - till the last one falls.

Go get ‘em boys and girls!
