Mass graves in Ukraine.
The rebel militia from Donbass discovered mass graves of civilians that had been tortured by the National Guard of Ukraine. Corpses covered with soil were found by sappers who were clearing the reclaimed territories of mines. Victims with their bodies covered with signs of torture had their hands tied behind them were apparently shot in the back of the head. The cases of 9 mm caliber bullets were found near the bodies.
Most of the massacred civilians were women, some were found with body organs removed. According to experts the internal organs of young women are highly valuable on the black market because women generally do not perform activities as hazardous as men and so their organs are more suitable for transplantation. One of the women was most likely pregnant.
Unearthed corpses confirm that torture was used against them: victims had limbs removed, various characters, including Nazi symbols, were burnt on the bodies. Two of the heads were completely severed. All the victims were dressed in civilian clothes. At the entrance to the nearby village a ditch was found containing several people. Residents claim that members of the National Guard executed people for their alleged contacts with the resistance movement. So far, three graves have been located and the rebels are confident that they will find more. OSCE observers confirm these claims.
The rebels did not have any doubts that girls were raped and murdered in the camp at the mine. ‘People said girls were disappearing’ – says one of the insurgents who found corpses. Currently, the fate of some of the residents is unknown. There is a high probability that there are still a lot of mass graves in the area.
‘The mine was a base for torturers, Nazis and all sorts of different mercenaries. Here they were quartered and conducted artillery fire on the next village. Leaving the mine, they set up many booby-traps in order to hit Donbass industry “, says one of the commanders who found corpses.
One should note that the Geneva Agreement of April 17, 2014 contained a commitment to Ukraine’s non-aggression in Donbass areas. The finding of mass graves was confirmed by the OSCE mission. Its observers assumed that the killings occurred on August 27, since they found a plate near one of the graves discovered at the “Kommunarskaja”mine.
“About forty bodies of civilians already found in three graves in Donetsk. Further burials have been located, but the exact number of mass graves is still undetermined. The graves contain civilian inhabitants, prisoners of war, and insurgents” – said Zacharczenko.
