Zelensky said in a speech that officials found places where civilians were being held, including seven citizens of the Republic of Sri Lanka who were students at the Kupyansk Medical College. The group of Sri Lankan citizens is now receiving medical attention, Zelensky added. This comes after Zelensky announced on Thursday that Ukraine had found another mass burial site near Izyum, with more than 440 graves. Zelensky noted on Friday that there was evidence that Russian soldiers “shot the buried people for fun”. Trump and DOJ lawyers to convene for first conference with DOJ special counsel seeking access to seized Mar-a-Lago documents “Russia repeated in Izium what it did in Bucha,” Zelensky said. “And now we are just beginning to learn the full truth about what was happening in the Kharkiv region at that time.” Mass grave sites were found in Bucha, a town north of Kiev, after Russian forces withdrew from the area earlier this year. Ukrainian troops have retaken more than 2,000 square kilometers of territory seized by Russia in the war since launching a major counteroffensive earlier this month, including Izyum, which Ukraine liberated last week. The United Nations said Friday it plans to send investigators to Izyum to examine the mass grave site, a move praised by Zelensky.
