President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sept. 16 that at least 400 people were tortured and eventually buried in the recently uncovered mass grave near Izyum, which was under Russian occupation for six months.

According to Kharkiv governor Oleh Synehubov, 99% of exhumed bodies from the gravesites show “marks of violent death.”
