The head of the UN human rights team in Ukraine said on Friday that monitors had received increasing information on mass graves in the encircled city of Mariupol, Ukraine, including one that appeared to hold 200 bodies, APA reports citing The Guardian.
“We have got increasing information on mass graves that are there,” Matilda Bogner told journalists by video link from Ukraine, saying some of the evidence came from satellite images.
Reuters report Bogner said that civilian deaths in Ukraine exceeded 1,035, adding that the UN team was probing what appeared to be indiscriminate attacks by both sides in the conflict.
During the call, the UN also said it had received allegations of Russians killing civilians in cars during evacuations, and has documented cases of enforced disappearances of Ukraine officials, some who appear to have been taken hostage.
