What about the ovens?
“the ovens”
In today’s Russian military they are mobile crematoriums.
On April 6 2022, independent Russian news outlet The Moscow Times published “Russian Mobile Crematoria Burn Dead in Mariupol, Council Says,” citing officials in the city of Mariupol:
“Russian mobile crematoria have been operating in Mariupol in an apparent bid to hide the death toll amid intense fighting in the Ukrainian city, local officials said … There have been multiple reports that mobile crematoria have accompanied the Russian army since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, but no independent verification.”
That story contained a link to an April 6 2022 statement shared to Telegram by the Mariupol City Council. An automatically translated version read:
“The killers are covering their tracks. Russian mobile crematoria have started operating in Mariupol. After the widespread international genocide in Bucha, Russia’s top leadership ordered the destruction of any evidence of crimes committed by its army in Mariupol. One week ago, cautious estimates put the death toll at 5,000. But given the size of the city, catastrophic destruction, the duration of the blockade and fierce resistance, tens of thousands of civilians from Mariupol could fall victim to the occupiers.
That is why Russia is in no hurry to give the green light to the Turkish mission and other initiatives to save and fully evacuate Mariupol. In addition, all POTENTIAL WITNESSES to the occupiers’ atrocities are being IDENTIFIED through FILTRATION CAMPS and DESTROYED.
“The Russians left all the dirty work to the collaborators. Eyewitnesses report that the racists recruited local and DNR terrorists to special brigades. They collect and burn the bodies of Mariupol residents murdered and killed as a result of the Russian invasion. The work of these groups is directly coordinated by the self-proclaimed mayor-collaborator Kostiantyn Ivashchenko. For many years he and his associates repeatedly tried to seize power, but eventually he managed to become the director of the Mariupol crematorium.”
