Two grave sites have been found in the eastern Ukrainian city of Lyman, according to an online post Thursday from Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region. Lyman was liberated from Russian control last week.
According to a post by Kyrylenko on the social platform Telegram, one site contained about 200 individual graves, and authorities believe they are all civilians. The other was a mass grave which may contain the bodies of both Ukrainian military members and civilians. The exact number of bodies in both grave sites is unknown, Kyrylenko said.
On Oct. 1, Russia withdrew its troops from Lyman after the city was surrounded by Ukrainian forces, who have been in the midst of a successful counteroffensive to take back Ukrainian territory.
