The official’s statements come two days after the Ukrainian authorities found some 450 graves near Izium, recently liberated from Russian occupation, with the bodies of civilians – some of them minors – and soldiers, 99% with “signs of torture”. , according to Kyiv.
“In the 21st century, such attacks against the civilian population are unthinkable,” said Lipavsky, who was in favor of “all war criminals being punished.”
As stated yesterday by Oleg Syneguvoy, governor of the Kharkov province, where Izium is located, “these people were tortured and executed.”
“There are several bodies with their hands tied behind their backs and one person was buried with a rope around his neck,” the governor reported, adding that an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death.
Moscow had already been accused of war crimes, allegedly committed in Bucha, near kyiv, in the first weeks of the conflict, but the Russian authorities always rejected such accusations.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights also said it plans to send a team of investigators to verify the allegations made by the Ukrainian authorities.
Ukraine recovered positions in the northeast and in the south of the country in the last week, after the boost received by the military aid sent by Western countries.
