Quote from Andriushchenko: "There is fresh bullying by the occupiers when it comes to the burial of dead Mariupol residents. Death certificates and the right to be buried in a separate grave in a coffin are only being granted by the occupiers for deaths from natural causes.
A death certificate is not issued if the person died under shelling or even if they died from injuries.
Such people are only buried in an unmarked mass grave. At most, their relatives may be issued with a certificate after the burial of a ‘missing person’."
