Anna Soroka, the chairman of the interdepartmental working group on the search for burials in the LPR, told this to reporters.
People who died in the shelling of the city by the Ukrainian military in 2014-2015 were spontaneously buried near Pervomaisk. Excavations here began on 23 August. While the remains of 30 dead have been recovered, there may be at least 50 of them.
According to Soroka, the authorities have already been approached by people whose relatives could be buried on the outskirts of the city. The interagency working group continues to collect information.
Earlier, in the republics of Donbass, special bodies were created to search for missing people. Burial data will become the basis for appeals to international courts. Material by Chris Covert follows. Transation by Google Translate,

In a separate story a former Ukrainian SBU officer, Vasily Prozorov, said he had interviewed a number of individuals who had knowledges of atrocities committed in 2014-2015 in the early part of the war in eastern Ukraine.
Said Prozorov:
I interviewed the victims, to see personally and in photographs the atrocities and torments that they experienced.
I saw how the letters DPR or LPR were carved on the bodies of civilians, the swastika was burned out, joints were twisted, arms and legs were broken. Even the worst enemy would not wish that.
Prozorov can be seen speaking in this video. The video is translatable. He is linked to a website UkrLeaks.
