Mass graves in Izium confirm Russian atrocities in Bucha not anomaly – ISW
KYIV. Sept 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The discovery of mass graves of civilians and torture chambers in liberated Izium of Kharkiv region indicates that the atrocities of the Russians in Bucha were a symbol of the Russian actions in the occupied territories, and not an anomaly, according to a report by analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
"The revelations of mass graves of civilians and torture chambers in newly liberated Izium confirm ISW’s previous assessments that the Bucha atrocities were not isolated war crimes but rather a microcosm of Russian atrocities throughout Russian-occupied areas," according to a report released on Saturday morning.
Analysts also note that Russian President Vladimir Putin has apparently threatened to expand Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure if reported Ukrainian attacks on Russian military positions in the Russian Federation territory continue.
The Ukrainian Resistance Center warned on September 16 that Russian forces are planning to conduct false flag attacks against civilian population in Russian-occupied Ukraine and urged Ukrainians in occupied areas to avoid public places between September 17 and September 20.
"Ukrainian forces captured all of Kupiansk City on September 16, continuing offensive operations east of the Oskil River," ISW confirmed.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly attacked the Russian occupation headquarters in Kherson, likely using HIMARS, and are continuing ground maneuvers in three districts of Kherson region as part of the ongoing southern counter-offensive.
Immediate and coordinated Russian information responses suggest that Ukrainian partisans responsible for the September 16 assassination of the so-called "LPR Prosecutor General" and his deputy.
