Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. said the country discovered evidence of “war crimes of massive proportions” in the recently reclaimed town of Izium.
Ukrainian forces retook Izium as part of a successful counteroffensive to reclaim territory that the Russian military occupied several months ago. In Izium this week, officials said more than 400 bodies were found in mass graves, just some of the 1,000discovered since Ukraine reclaimed the city.
Anton Gerashchenko, an Interior Ministry advisor, warned the massacre in the city could be “even worse than the tragedy in Bucha,” where officials and reporters have uncovered evidence of torture, rape and executions. The massacre led leaders from around the world to call for an investigation into Russia’s military.
