New satellite images reveal a third mass grave near the besieged southeastern city where locals have been forced to work in exchange for food, mayor says
A satellite image shows the expansion of new graves at a cemetery in Vynohradne, near Mariupol, Ukraine, on March 29.
New satellite imagery has shown a mass grave at the village of Staryi Krym, according to the Telegram channel of the city authorities. By April 7, according to new imagery, part of the trenches had been covered, the council said, and the burial area had grown. "They [the locals] told us that you have to work 'hours' to have food and water. Now there is not enough humanitarian aid in Mariupol so people are forced to do it," he said on Telegram.
Last week, Ukrainian officials identified the location of mass graves at Manhush near Mariupol after the publication of satellite images collected by and analyzed by Maxar Technologies. Andriushchenko -- who is not in Mariupol but has served as a clearinghouse for information from inside the besieged city -- said Russian forces had dug several mass graves, each measuring about 30 meters , in Manhush, a town around 12 miles to the west of Mariupol.
