This is indicated by a comparison with satellite images of the mass grave in Bucha.
In the village of Mangush, where before several mass graves were discovered , the Russian occupiers could bury between 3,000 and 9,000 Mariupol residents. This assumption was made by the Mariupol City Council in the Telegram. p>
According to the City Council, in the photos of Maxar from April 9, the size of the mass burial sector near Mariupol is 20 times larger.

“The occupiers dug and filled new trenches with corpses every day throughout April. Our sources say that in such graves the bodies are placed in several layers, “the statement reads.
Mayor Vadim Boychenko called the actions of the Russian military a new Babyn Yar.
“The biggest war crime of the 21st century was committed in Mariupol. This is the new Babyn Yar. Hitler then killed Jews, Roma and Slavs. And now Putin is destroying Ukrainians. He has already killed tens of thousands of civilians in Mariupol. And this requires a strong reaction from the entire civilized world. The genocide must be stopped, ”the mayor said.
The city council also noted that by mid-March, about 5,000 people had been buried in Mariupol and the suburbs. According to cautious estimates, a total of 22,000 Russian troops were killed in the city.
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not confirm information about the capture of Mariupol by the Russian army .
It will be recalled that the Russian occupiers are gradually turning Mariupol into a real ghetto for Ukrainians, and civilians are being forced to wear white armbands , threatening to be shot. Ukraine demands from Russia an urgent humanitarian corridor from Azovstal for more than 1,000 civilians and 500 wounded Ukrainian servicemen. Before that, Azov Deputy Commander Sviatoslav Palamar announced the conditions for the defenders of Mariupol to leave the territory of the Azovstal plant .
The appeal of the commander of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, Serhiy Volyna, to Pope Francis to save Mariupol residents who are dying in the basements of Azovstal was another cry of the crying in the desert. Another testimony of hell on earth. For more information on the Pope's risk of losing Ukraine in this war, read Kateryna Shchotkina's article “ Get Out of Hell “.
