IZIUM, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian authorities have begun unearthing bodies from a mass burial site in a forest recaptured from Russian forces.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the find was an example of “what the Russian occupation has led to.”

Police said site contains 445 graves.

It was discovered close to Izium after a rapid counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces retook the northeastern city and much of the Kharkiv region.

That broke what had largely become a stalemate in the nearly seven-month war.

Associated Press journalists who visited the burial site Thursday saw graves amid the pine trees marked with simple wooden crosses.

The exhumations began Friday.
