The forensic investigators have already found some 500 mass graves of mostly civilians who were allegedly killed by Russian troops or died for lack of medical assistance. According to reports, 99% of the recovered bodies have signs of a violent death.
One of the mass graves contained the remains of 17 Ukrainian soldiers who also had their hands tied and ultimately executed. The investigation is now working to identify the names of the soldiers.
