In the de-occupied territory of the Kharkiv region, law enforcement officers discovered the bodies of almost 50 dead civilians.

This number does not take into account mass burials which the bodies have not yet been exhumed from.

"There are approximately 445 burials on the mass burial ground of our citizens. We will establish the nature of injuries and the cause of death, this is not a one-week job," said the head of the National Police of Ukraine, Ihor Klymenko.
