Ukrainian authorities are just beginning to sift through the wreckage of the devastated city of Lyman in eastern Ukraine. They are assessing the humanitarian toll and possibility of war crimes from a months-long Russian occupation.

“Some people died in their houses, some people died in the streets, and the bodies are now being sent to experts for examination,” he said. “For now we are looking for grave sites, and there are probably mass graves.”

As they left Lyman, Russian soldiers placed mines on the bodies of some of their fallen comrades, set to explode when Ukrainian authorities attempted to clear them, said Tkachenko of the Kramatorsk district police. Some had exploded, but caused no injuries. The liberation of Lyman came as the latest in a series of gains by Ukrainian forces as part of successful counteroffensive operations in the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Kherson regions.

But Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko on Friday said that two burial sites had been found in Lyman, including around 200 individual civilian graves and a mass grave with an undetermined number of bodies. Tetyana pointed to a pair of green trousers she was wearing, and several camouflage coats hanging on hooks outside her house. She’d found the Russian uniforms, she said, “laying around. All my stuff was destroyed so I have nothing to wear.”

2 grave sites found in liberated Ukrainian city of Lyman, official saysTwo grave sites, believed to be holding the bodies of civilians and Ukrainian military, have been found in the eastern Ukrainian city of Lyman, which was liberated from Russian control last week. Putin has betrayed humanity & most world leaders don’t have sufficient righteousness to come together & tell him to back off. Humanity at large itself has but one to blame: itself. Nothing new since Cain. Elohim however, will intervene. We’re not gonna like His correction. 😥 looks like the Ukrainians have been busy killing the locals. We've already see the videos. You can't control the narrative. Biden is sponsoring the ethnic cleansing of those who chose to be Russian. It is a disgrace.
