In Mangush, the occupiers could bury between 3,000 and 9,000 Mariupol residents, according to a comparison with satellite photos of the burial in Bucha, where 70 people were found. In Maxar photos from April 9, the mass grave sector in Mangush is 20 times larger.
The occupiers dug new trenches near Mariupol and filled them with bodies every day throughout April. Sources of the Mariupol City Council report that in such graves the bodies are placed in several layers.
“The biggest war crime of the 21st century was committed in Mariupol. It is the new Babyn Yar. Then Hitler killed Jews, Roma, and Slavs. And now Putin murders Ukrainians. He has already killed tens of thousands of civilians in Mariupol. And this requires a strong response from the civilized world. We must stop the genocide at all costs.”
