In another attempt to blame the Russian military for Nazism, the Ukrainian media reported on September 15: “The terrible footage are the graves of the victims of the Rashist [Russian fascist] occupation on the outskirts of Izyum. There are almost no names on the plates anywhere. Apparently, bodies are buried here from under the rubble of bombed houses, which have yet to be identified.” The reports did not mention that the town has been heavily shelled by Ukrainian artillery for about five months.
The very next day, the exhumation of corpses by the Ukrainian authorities began. About 400 bodies were reportedly found at the mass burial sites. Of course, the corpses of civilians and children with signs of torture were reportedly discovered.
The head of the Ukrainian Kharkiv administration, supported the claims: “there are several bodies with their hands tied behind their backs, and one person is buried with a rope around his neck. Obviously, these people were tortured and executed. There are also children among those buried.”
The Izyum massacre was staged just a day after EU chief Ursula von der Leyen visited Ukraine and said in an interview that she wants to see Russian President Vladimir Putin face the International Criminal Court over war crimes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his country is in talks with G-7 nations to set up a war crimes tribunal which would investigate and punish Russia and its top officials and military leaders for “war crimes”.
Naturally, the initiative of the Ukrainian authorities was actively supported by the West. For example, Josep Borrell said that “the leadership of Russia and all those involved in this will be held accountable. The EU supports all efforts in this direction.” Barrel has already called Russia a “fascist state” before.
The United Nations said it had dispatched a forensic team of investigators to examine what Ukraine has alleged is a “mass grave” left in the wake of Russian forces’ retreat from the city of Izyum.
Dozens of Western correspondents have already been brought to Izyum. However, not all of them supported the Kiev’s narrative. For example, British journalists have admitted that the scene looks like a staging. According to the journalists from the Daily Telegraph who were working on the spot confirmed that there were no evidence of repressions against civilians in the town. Local residents confirmed to the British journalists that Russian soldiers did not torture civilians.
Some Ukrainian media claim that there are only civilians buried, but the photos widely shared by the Kiev regime only show the bodies of men in military uniforms.
Zelensky tried to pass off as repression the bodies of his own dead fighters, who were used as cannon fodder by the Ukrainian military command all along the front lines and who were then buried in common graves.
Hundreds of Ukrainian servicemen killed on the battlefield were abandoned by their comrades and the Russian servicemen buried their corpses in mass graves. At the same time, the Ukrainian side refused to take the corpses. As there are no corpses to identify, the Ukrainian military can easily hide the real losses and Kiev should not pay money to the families of the dead. Today, the Kiev regime tries to turn Russian humanism into genocide.
The catchy picture of the bones of the hand with yellow-blue ribbons is now widely spread by Ukrainian officials. What a coincidence that the picture showing the same ribbons was spread by the Ukrainian media as another symbol of resistance long before the excavation in Izyum.
The head of the Lugansk People’s Republic commented on the Ukrainian campaign, claiming that Kiev needs the media provocation in Izyum only to create another picture in the Western media, there will be no investigation, and the victims will soon be forgotten. According to him, following the example of Bucha, it is expected that Kiev will launch new provocations in Kupyansk and other settlements. The Ukrainian authorities did not even need a preliminary conclusion on the causes of people’s deaths to accuse Russia of mass murder.
“But for the “picture” in the Western media, this is not necessary, just victims are needed, and Ukraine will appoint murderers and they should take their word for it. And then the same thing will happen as in the spring in Bucha: in a few days, no one will remember about these victims on Western and Ukrainian TV channels, and no one will even conduct any investigation. That’s the whole point of the Kiev regime,” concluded the head of the LPR.
Before the beginning of the Russian military operations in Ukraine, 45 thousand people lived in the town. They could be evacuated in a week but the Ukrainian authorities did not take the necessary measures. Ukrainian authorities had at least three weeks to evacuate civilians before the hostilities approached the region. In three weeks, only 10 thousand residents were evacuated by buses, another 10,000 left Izyum by their own means. Civilians were used as human shields for the Ukrainian military.
Until April 1, the town was under the control of the Ukrainian authorities. The Ukrainian regime is well known for its repressions against the pro-Russian civilian population. People were tortured and killed for any suspicion of supporting the Russian military or simply sympathizing with Russia. That is why today Ukrainian servicemen can easily find corpses with their hands tied and with traces of torture.
