  • Zelenskyy gave a speech at the UN.

  • There was a mass burial site discovered in Izium.

  • Zelenskyy said that one of the men was castrated.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged United Nations members to confront their Russian counterparts about one of the more gruesome acts of violence that Ukraine officials have previously said were committed during the six-month-long invasion and recently discovered in Izium.

The Ukrainian president asked the representatives of Russia why they were so obsessive with castration. What happened to them so they could do this to other people?

Zelenskyy demanded a full package of restrictions against Russia to punish them for crimes they committed during the invasion of Ukraine.

The bodies of people were found there.

A family of five, including a father, mother, six and eight-year-old girls, were killed in a Russian air strike. There is a person who is dead. The woman has injuries on her body. He questioned why Russian soldiers continue to castrate people when there is a man who was castrated before he was murdered.

This is not the first time that a Ukrainian official has reported acts of violence by Russian soldiers.

The identities of the victim and perpetrators of the castration of a Ukrainian captive by Russian soldiers were not known in July.

A skull was placed on a stick outside of a building in Popasna, which was captured by the Russian military. The governor of Ukrainian Luhansk province suggested that a Ukrainian prisoner was placed on a stick by the Russians.
