MOSCOW, October 1 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said 
Wednesday that more than 400 bodies have been discovered in mass graves  
<http://en.ria.ru/world/20140930/193459609.html> near the city of Donetsk in 
eastern Ukraine, in what he described as "horrific" evidence that pointed to a 
war crime.

“This is obviously a war crime <http://en.ria.ru/world/20140930/193471033.html> 
. Already more than 400 bodies have been discovered in [mass] graves outside 
Donetsk and we hope that western capitals will not hush up these facts 
[because] they’re horrific,” Lavrov said, adding there was an apparent blackout 
of the incident in Western mass media.

Last week, several mass graves filled with bodies of massacred civilians and 
independence supporters, killed execution-style, were unearthed 35 kilometers 
northeast of Donetsk.

"I expect [to hear] a clear, unbiased and responsible response from 
international organizations. OSCE is already working at the scene 
<http://en.ria.ru/world/20140926/193307426.html> . We will make the truth known 
and, of course, make sure that the justice is done," Sergei Lavrov said at a 
press conference.

Speaking at PACE's fall session in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Russian lawmaker Olga 
Kazakova called on the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to keep 
an eye on the investigation into this horrendous massacre.

The independence supporters of southeastern Ukraine believe that the civilians 
were murdered by the National Guard 
<http://en.ria.ru/world/20140924/193227565.html>  fighters who had stayed in 
the village of Nyzhnia Krynka, near the city of Donetsk, where the graves had 
been discovered, since April. Ukrainian authorities later denied this 
accusation, saying that not a single National Guard fighter had been in the 
area, adding however that some other Ukrainian units were deployed there at the 
time.

Lavrov commented on Kiev's recent claim to conduct an open and impartial probe 
of the alleged massacre as soon as it regained control of the area, saying it 
was pure hypocrisy because "these crimes were obviously perpetrated there at 
the time when Ukrainian security forces were in control of this region."
