The southeastern port city of Mariupol has seen some of the heaviest attacks and civilian suffering in the 6-week-old war.
A family mourns a relative killed during the war with Russia as dozens of black bags containing more bodies of victims are seen Monday strewn across the graveyard in the cemetery in Bucha, Ukraine.
The southeastern port city of Mariupol has seen some of the heaviest attacks and civilian suffering in the 6-week-old war, but the land, sea and air assaults by Russian forces fighting to capture it have increasingly limited information on circumstances inside the city. Russian forces have taken many bodies to a huge shopping center where there are storage facilities and refrigerators, Boychenko said.
Boychenko spoke from a location in Ukrainian-controlled territory but outside Mariupol. The mayor said he had several sources for his description of the alleged methodical burning of bodies by Russian forces in the city, but did not further detail the sources of his information. Donbas has been torn by fighting between Russian-allied separatists and Ukrainian forces since 2014, and Russia has recognized the separatists’ claims of independence. Military strategists say Russian leaders appear to hope local support, logistics and terrain in Donbas favor Russia’s larger and better-armed military, potentially allowing Russian troops to gain more territory and weaken Ukraine’s fighting forces.A senior U.S.
