Ukrainian military vehicles can be seen on the roads of the eastern Donbas region, after the recapture of Izium and swaths of territory in the eastern Kharkiv region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his daily address Friday that crimes allegedly committed by Russian forces in Ukraine’s now-liberated Kharkiv region are being revealed and recorded. Zelenskyy said that, so far, more than 440 graves have been unearthed at a “mass burial site near Izium” and evidence is emerging that Russian soldiers “shot at the buried just for fun.” In addition, he said Russian soldiers have held some people, including foreigners, captive for months. He cited seven Sri Lankan nationals who had been students at Ukraine’s Kupyansk Medical College at the time of the invasion who had been held captive by the Russians since March. “Only now, after the liberation of Kharkiv region, these people were saved, they are provided with proper medical care,” he said. Zelenskyy also said he had talked Friday with representatives from Nike. He said he thanked the Nike representatives “for the decision to leave the Russian market. The right decision. This is an example of how business can play a significant role in protecting humanity and freedom. If a state chooses the path of terror, it is the duty of every self-respecting company to distance itself from such a state.” https://www.voanews.com/a/ukrainian-president-burial-site-contains-torture-victims-/6751457.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
