Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov commented on the discovery of graves in the Ukrainian Izyum. He emphasized that the Ukrainian authorities showed a cemetery with ordinary graves. These were not mass graves.
The Russian minister pointed out that each grave had an Orthodox cross. This means that people were buried and “Ukrainians began to dig them up.” In addition, Lavrov pointed out that the Ukrainian authorities did not allow foreign journalists to visit the cemetery.
On September 14, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy recorded a video message in English. He said a mass grave was allegedly discovered in Izyum. Subsequently, the chairman of the movement “We are together with Russia” Vladimir Rogov said that the burials in Izyum can only be mass graves of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine abandoned on the battlefield.
