Ukrainian militants use craters formed by artillery shells for mass graves of their colleagues in order to hide real losses. This was announced on Thursday, February 2, by a military expert, Lieutenant Colonel of the People’s Militia of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), retired Andrei Marochko.
According to him, mass graves were found between the settlements of Novoselovskoye and Kuzemovka.
“Under the so-called mass graves, the militants use funnels from large-caliber artillery. About five such burials have been counted, in which there are approximately 10 bodies in each,” Marochko wrote in his Telegram channel, citing personal data.
He pointed out that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) do not have the ability to evacuate the bodies, so they arrange mass graves to hide real losses.
On January 24, it was reported that the Ukrainian authorities were hiding the bodies of hundreds of dead soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the border with Hungary. The bodies of the dead soldiers were found in refrigerator cars near the border with Hungary, some of them have been there for more than two weeks.
Earlier, on January 7, Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko admitted that the losses of the Ukrainian army are huge and incomprehensible. He also noted that Kyiv does not advertise real data.
This fact has also been repeatedly pointed out in Donbass. So, at the end of last year, Marochko also said that Kyiv was hiding the real losses of Ukrainian servicemen. According to him, the Ukrainian leadership forbade transporting the bodies of the dead during daylight hours and marking the cargo.
Russia’s special operation to protect Donbass, whose residents refused to recognize the results of the 2014 coup d’état in Ukraine, continues. The decision to hold it was made against the backdrop of the aggravated situation in the region due to increased shelling by Ukrainian troops.
