Showing Original Post only (View all)Proof that the Kiev coup government has been lying on a massive scale. [View all]
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by hlthe2b (a host of the Video & Multimedia forum).
This recently released video of one Kiev military graveyard near Dnepropetrovsk shows that the total dead from the war, just for this one graveyard, total well over 6,500 dead. This video is taken by a mother of a dead Ukrainian soldier. She clearly films all the graves and shows the placards which state the total numbers at the 3:40 mark and beyond. These numbers are well in excess of the numbers being reported by the United Nations, Amnesty International, Kiev, European and US media and authorities. The total number of all Ukrainian deaths is being compiled by internet activist investigators and is listed below along with the stand out commentary from the video.
The following link includes much more compiled information on the total Ukrainian war dead.

Video Lady comments:
0:06 I am now at a burial place in the vicinity of Dnepropetrovsk
1:51 Graves are labeled by numbers, and DNA samples are kept in a morgue in Dneprpetrovsk, Mechnikov hospital
2:29 200 more bodies are in the process of being identified
2:47 'Putin should stop conflict and withdraw troops'
3:23 Graves with flowers and crosses are those where 'authorities in Dnepropetrovsk believe that those are Ukrainian soldiers' . Crosses are numbered and have 'unknown defender of Ukraine' label
3:55 a lot of bodies arrive, they are brought by plane
4:52 numbers on graves refer to DNA samples (we see numbers 6552, 6554, 6544, 6447, 6076, 6077, 6346, so at least 6076-6554 are there)
5:29 'Putin is to blame, he and his cohort'
Concludes with 'such a sad report I have today.' So she maybe a Ukrainian reporter, possibly blogger or activist; I am not aware of such a report being published --Resup (talk) 02:53, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Not all numbers are buried at this graveyard. The numbers are the consecutive numbers at the registry at the morgue. Every corpse gets a number when it enters the morgue. Some people are identified and released to relatives. Only the ones that could not be identified end up at this lot. The running numbers only apply to this one morgue in Dnepropetrovsk. Other cities have their oven registries and numbers. The graveyard in Lugansk photographed by Graham Phillips showed morgue numbers around 1000.
Based on the numbers I come up with this guestimate of Ukrainian war casualties (KIA):
In morgues:
Dnepropetrovsk: 7000
Kharkov: 4000
Zaporizhia: 3000
Mass graves on the battlefield: 10,000
Total: 24,000
