Ukraine mass graves: Satellite images show Mariupol cemetery expanding as Russian war continues

Casualties of Russia's war in Ukraine emerged in stark relief with a new satellite image from Maxar Technologies, showing the expansion of the Starokrymske Cemetery in Mariupol.

"Russian digging of mass graves continues in Mariupol in an attempt to cover up war crimes at Starokrymske Cemetery on the west edge of the city," Foreign Policy Magazine's Jack Detsch noted on Twitter.

The United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner claimed Thursday that Russian forces have killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians in Mariupol since the war began, although the "true scale" of atrocities has yet to be revealed.
