"Currently, a number of investigative actions are being carried out in the said criminal proceedings aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the incident, the perpetrators of the crime, as well as identifying the victims who were killed by the Russians. Investigative actions are also underway to identify eyewitnesses who may be able to disclose details," the spokeswoman said.
All we have now is a video, and it is not of very good quality. We need to confirm that these are the people. Therefore, it will take some time to identify the victims. We do not have access to the area to conduct a detailed examination. We also do not have access to the bodies to confirm the causes of death. Therefore, it will take time to identify them.
