Russia’s troops have dug more than 200 mass graves near Mariupol in southern Ukraine, satellite imagery allegedly shows, as Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the battle for the besieged city.
The site of the mass graves – which Ukrainian authorities believe could contain the bodies of up to 9,000 people – lies adjacent to an existing cemetery in the village of Manhush, 12 miles west of the port city on the coast of the Black Sea.
