The mass grave with 900 bodies had been found in various places in Kyiv Oblast, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ukraine’s The Kyiv Independent had earlier reported that the Ukrainian President said a mass grave with 900 people was found in Kyiv Oblast. But later, the media outlet issued a correction and said that Zelenskyy had been referring to the total number of people found in different mass graves in Kyiv Oblast.
“Hundreds of civilians have been killed in the region by Russian troops,” the media outlet reported.
The Kyiv Independent also reported on Friday that three Russian missiles hit Kyiv Oblast.
The media outlet quoted Oleksandr Pavlyuk, head of the Kyiv Oblast Military Administration, who said, the missiles hit undisclosed infrastructure sites near the city of Fastiv in Kyiv Oblast.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, during his visit to Ukraine’s Borodyanka, said that the ongoing war is “an absurdity” and stated that he imagines his family in one of the rooms which has now been destroyed. He said, “I imagined my family in one of those houses that is now destroyed and black. I see my granddaughters running away in panic, part of the family eventually killed. So, the war is an absurdity in the 21st century. The war is evil.”
The UN Chief arrived in Ukraine on Wednesday after his visit to Moscow. Taking to Twitter, UN Chief said that he will continue their work to expand the humanitarian support to Ukraine and will also secure the evacuation of civilians from conflict zones.
Notably, Russia launched a “special military operation” in Ukraine on February 24, which the West has termed an unwarranted war. As a result of this, the western countries have also imposed several crippling sanctions on Moscow.
