Satellite images released by Maxar technologies appeared to show hundreds of freshly-dug graves in a Ukrainian town, as the mayor of the besieged port city of Mariupol said Russian troops were burying Ukrainian civilians killed in the conflict in order to cover up "military crimes.” Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko claimed that the Russians buried hundreds of civilians outside Mariupol. Boychenko said that “the bodies started disappearing from the streets of the city,” charging that the Russians were “hiding the trace of their crimes and using mass graves as one of the instruments for that.” He said that the Russians dug huge trenches near Manhush, 20 kilometers (about 12 miles) west of Mariupol. “They are taking the bodies of the dead residents of Mariupol in trucks and throw them into those trenches,” he said during an online briefing. “They are hiding their military crimes,” he said. The images from Maxar appeared to show around 200 graves dug in Manhush between March and April.
