- Cemetery near Mariupol grows again


Mariupol was surrounded by Russian troops in the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February.
Another new sector has appeared in the Stary Krym settlement near Mariupol, on the site of a mass grave of city residents, the Mariupol city council has said.
The report said:
The Mariupol cemetery in Stary Krym is getting bigger. Even a new sector of mass graves has already appeared - No. 21
The city council noted that due to the high mortality rate in the city, the dead are buried simply in boxes, and no names are written on the graves, as people have no relatives, and the occupiers do not want to look into the details of a dead person:
Residents of the city still bury their relatives killed by the occupiers, and thousands of residents still do not know where their relatives and acquaintances are buried. Others are listed as missing
The city council stressed that the cemetery continues to expand
