Russian invaders seek to conceal consequences of Kakhovka HPP terrorist attack

These groups are now roaming the flooded areas along the left bank of the Dnipro River - from Nova Kakhovka to Hola Prystan, writes journalist Oleksandr Kovalenko.

Their task is to find the bodies of the drowned and transport them to the morgue in Kalanchak. The groups are supervised by FSB operatives. Therefore, the teams can move freely through checkpoints without being checked.

About 70 bodies are delivered to Kalanchak every day and then cremated.

“According to tentative reports from the ground, most of the corpses removed from the flooded area are those of elderly people who had no chance to flee the disaster area in time. Also among the drowned are Russian invaders,” reports Kovalenko.

According to the journalist the groups which practically perform the functions of concealing the evidence of the Russian war crime, also received special equipment for setting up burial grounds and mass graves.
