day 206 of war in Ukraine.
The discovery this Friday of a grave in the liberated city of Izium with 440 corpses continues to cause reactions at the international level. The United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, has qualified as “war crimes” the discovery of those bodies in the newly liberated Ukrainian city.
“We have now seen the reports of this mass grave… Every time we see the Russian tide receding from parts of Ukraine he has occupied, we see what he leaves in his wake. And this latest discovery of apparently 440 mass graves in Izium is a reminder of that,” Blinken said during a press conference, stressing that these acts would be considered “war crimes.”
In this regard, the US Secretary of State has urged the Ukrainians to “do everything possible” to take back “the land that Russia has taken from them”, while building evidence of “the atrocities that have been committed.” “In many cases these (atrocities) will amount to war crimes, which I think is the appropriate framework through which to look at this,” Blinken said.

To these criticisms has been added the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, has condemned the “atrocities” committed in the Ukrainian city of Izium, where the bodies of 440 people have been found in mass graves. “I strongly condemn the atrocities committed in Iziumin Ukraine, under Russian occupation,” the Ukrainian president said in a message on Twitter.
“The authors will be held responsible for their actions. There is no peace without justice“, he added, referring to the possible penalties that Russia could face for its invasion of Ukraine.
