Russia-Ukraine war live updates: ‘Putin never imagined’ rally of support for Ukraine, Austin tells military leaders

Satellite imagery has turned up more mass graves near Mariupol, the third such site discovered around the devastated port city, which Russia has besieged and shelled for weeks.

The images, captured by the American firm Planet, shows a plot of land roughly five miles outside Mariupol, in a Russian-occupied village. In it, trenches can be seen expanding over the period of a month, from March 24 to April 24. The gravesite, according to the photos, is roughly 200 feet long at the beginning of that span and tops 650 feet by the end, on Sunday.

Mariupol’s mayor, Vadym Boychenko, told Radio Free Europe that the photographs align with Ukrainian government information indicating that Russia has used mass graves to bury civilians killed in its bombardment of the city, sometimes enlisting residents in the digging work in exchange for food.

“We know about these mass graves because these fascists — I have no other words — engage local people in the burials for food,” Boichenko said. “And the locals told us that one must have enough ‘work hours’ to get food and water. … The amount of humanitarian cargo the Russians bring here is not enough, so people have to do this”
