whom we people had to pay for the burial. and if he didn't have money than they were buried with a number, sometimes they put signs like woman with a red coat. those who were burying were may be local fixes russians and separatists from don yet. and lou hence, russia invaded if 2 in the early days of the war, it was used as a logistical help to supplies. forces in the dumbass is now a city in ruins. desolate there is no power, water or gas. ukrainian soldiers are back on the streets, but that dana wonders how she's going to face the approaching winter. she says some people froze to death alone in their homes. at the beginning of the war. sitting on the bench near by august says most of the death happen of on the me, i can say it's a mass grave people very did. anyway, they could any gardens and squares the russian made in scene to tame, to exceed the bodies from around the city. and took them neither cemetery,

it's already 4 or 5 months after i've heard they are, they were agreed. there are 4 of them. condition of bodies are very my to be friend from what we saw in the j e must on it. that's why i don't think that we can compare. now we have to understand more and get more information on the cranes side. i think, i mean on to the 3rd, there is still a lot of videos and pictures from excavating on this math grade there in, in his room. i think that so far, i what we can say that all this people die because of the war. and that's for sure. so or that was the lack of medical support, or it wasn't because of michelin or, and they were torture in any keith,
