Quote: "New, devastating discoveries. During the inspection of buildings in the Livoberezhnyi [Left Bank] neighbourhood, over 100 bodies of civilians killed in a bombardment were found in a building on the junction of Peremohy Avenue and Meotydy Boulevard that was hit in an airstrike. The occupiers have made no plans to retrieve and bury the bodies.

[City-wide] exhumation efforts continue. We are prioritising the yards of schools and kindergartens. After exhumations, the pits are treated to get rid of the smell. Exhumation sites found on the streets and in courtyards [that are not school or kindergarten courtyards - ed.] are not treated."
