Ukrainian investigators exhumed seven bodies from makeshift graves in a forest near Kyiv on June 13.

The bodies were found near Myrotske village in Buchansky district, some 30 kilometers west from Kyiv. "This is another sadistic crime of the Russian army in the Kyiv region," Kyiv Oblast police chief, Andrii Niebytov, said on Facebook.
