Quote from Andriushchenko: "At the intersection of Lomizova and Azovstalska Streets, two corpses of civilians are still lying on the street, packed in plastic bags. The bags are torn by stray dogs, who drag body parts around the neighbourhood."

Details: According to Andriushchenko, the Russian occupation authorities refuse to respond to local residents’ requests to hold funerals.

Background: The local authorities reported on 29 May that, when corpses had washed out of their graves during the restoration of water supply to a local supermarket, Russian occupiers had hauled them out and dumped them in piles "like garbage".
