The number of alleged war crimes by Russian troops in Ukraine is increasing. Newly released satellite images show what is believed to have been a mass grave near Mariupol at the end of March.
According to the media, satellite images are said to indicate a possible mass grave near the port city of Mariupol in south-eastern Ukraine, which was besieged by Russian troops. The US satellite photo service Maxar distributed images that are said to show several excavated graves in the suburb of Manhusch. Local authorities say that thousands of civilians are said to be buried in Manhush. The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj had spoken of tens of thousands of dead in the port city, which had been fought over for weeks.
The Ukrainian information was not independently verifiable. President Selenskyj has not yet publicly commented on the alleged mass grave. The information goes back to the Mariupol City Council and Mayor Vadym Boychenko, who speak of graves for up to 9,000 bodies, but are no longer there themselves.
Mass grave is said to be along a road
A Maxar satellite photo of Manhush, about 20 kilometers west of the port city of Mariupol, is said to show a mass grave near a cemetery parallel to the road. According to a report by the US newspaper “The New York Times”, which claims to have analyzed the recordings, there are around 300 excavated graves there. They are said to have been created within two weeks between March and April, as a comparison of the recording dates showed.
