Zelensky posted a photograph of the ongoing exhumation of bodies at a mass burial site near the city of Izium. Most graves at the burial site are individual graves, with wooden crosses placed at the head of the dirt mounds. One official at the site told CNN that investigations would have to determine when these people died. Body bags are taken to refrigerated containers following the exhumation at Izium's mass burial site. An Izium resident living across the street from the mass burial site told CNN the Russians first hit a nearby city graveyard with an airstrike and then moved in.
