U.N. to Investigate Mass Graves in Territory Reclaimed from Russia by Ukraine
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations Human Rights Office says it will send monitors to
Izium, after hundreds of bodies were reportedly discovered in mass
graves by Ukrainian forces who retook the city from Russia earlier this
month. Ukraine's Defense Ministry said the largest of the mass burial
sites contained 440 unmarked graves, and said most of the victims are
civilians.
