When the excavation begins, the corpses come out in heaps.

According to the UN Human Rights Council, a number of war crimes have been confirmed as a result of an investigation into four regions: Kiiu, Kharkiv, and Sumi.
The UN report pointed out that mass executions, illegal detention, torture, abuse, and sexual violence took place mostly in Russian-occupied territory.
It was also confirmed that the Russian military indiscriminately bombarded civilian areas with explosive weapons and attacked civilians trying to escape from the airstrike area.

Russia continues its indiscriminate airstrikes despite criticism that it is committing war crimes.
The relentless attack on Ukraine’s electricity-related infrastructure has resulted in power outages in more than 1,600 cities and the death toll in the bombing of more than 70 people.
Russia is using Iranian-made self-destruct drones, but Iran denies any supply.
The West, including the United States, Britain and France, have decided to take issue with the UN Security Council over Russia’s use of Iranian-made self-destruct drones.
Russia, which is on the defensive, has attacked Ukraine with Iranian weapons, and civilian casualties are increasing.
