Quote: "We have confirmation of 10,749 killed and 15,599 wounded civilians. Of this number, 499 of the dead were children, and 1,090 more children were injured.
We understand that these figures are just the tip of the iceberg. When we liberate our territories, the numbers will increase significantly, possibly tenfold."
Details: Belousov suggested that in Mariupol alone "there will be tens of thousands of dead".
He also added that law enforcement officers will try to identify all the victims of the invaders, although it will not be easy, taking into account that "the Russians could have reburied and taken [the bodies - ed.] away, and we will not find the bodies".
At the same time, the representative of the Prosecutor General’s Office added that thanks to Ukraine’s partners, the body identification system has "improved significantly", and the number of laboratories and the ability to analyse DNA are incomparable to what was available in Ukraine before.
