The bodies of 44 civilians have been found in the rubble of a five-storey building in Izyum that was destroyed by Russian forces in March, according to a Ukrainian official.
“The bodies of 44 civilians were found in the temporarily occupied Izyum from under the rubble of a five-storey building, which was destroyed by the occupiers in the first decade of March,” Oleg Sinegubov, head of Kharkiv regional military administration, has said.
“This is another horrible war crime of the Russian military against the civilian population,” he said on Telegram.
The BBC has not been able to independently verify these claims.
