Exhumation of Bodies in Lyman
- Description:
- The description on the image reads, "After the liberation of Lyman in the Luhansk region, a mass grave site was discovered, and the police proceeded to exhume 787 bodies. A soldier who witnessed the process provided his testimony: "This is what the 'Russian world' truly represents. Their genuine national ideology: fear and death. They want everyone to live in fear, and those who refuse must perish. Today, the painstaking task of exhuming bodies from a mass grave on the outskirts of Lyman has commenced. Law enforcement has confirmed that these are civilians, most of whom were killed during the city's capture by the Russians. The bodies were hastily buried by a tractor and then covered with sand. Preliminary estimates suggest there are ~180 bodies in this grave: men and women, young and old. Among them are children. At least three young souls lie here, some of them just a few years old, buried alongside their parents. They rest together in the same pit, forming entire families. These innocent lives were not claimed by Putin alone. It was Russia and its people who took them away from us. The Russians are responsible for their deaths." More information: Lyman formerly known as Krasnyi Lyman from 1925 to 2016, is a city in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.
