Law enforcement officers exhumed the bodies of more than 600 people who died during the temporary occupation of the Kharkiv region.

This was announced on the air of the telethon by the Minister of Internal Affairs Denis Monastyrsky.

Experts are not immediately identified by the DNA of the dead. According to the Interior Minister, this could go on for weeks or even months.

Monastyrsky noted that the de-occupied territories are being discovered by law enforcement officers to be tortured by soldiers of the Russian army.

We understand that any occupied territory means dozens of tortured civilians, prisoners of our Ukrainian military.

Recall that in Izium, a mass grave was found in a forest belt. There, rescuers, together with other services, exhumed 447 bodies.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs reports that during the retreat, the Russian invaders will create new mass graves of Ukrainians, whom they brutally killed.
