Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced yesterday that after the Izium was recaptured from the Russian army, a mass grave was found and the details were being investigating. During the investigations conducted by Ukrainian expert teams, including the United Nations (UN) observation mission, numerous dead corpses were discovered in the woodland region of Izium.

“More than 400 graves are in the forest near Izium. We still don’t know exactly how many bodies are there. Russia has already become the biggest source of terrorism in the world, and no other terrorist power leaves behind so many deaths. This must be recognised legally. The world must act. Russia must be recognised as a state sponsor of terrorism.” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The PKK’s announcement that it will begin disarmament on Friday after over 40 years of armed conflict has received a mixed but largely hopeful reaction in Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). While some remain cautious, many residents in Erbil and border areas see the move as a crucial opportunity for lasting peace.

“We hope for peace and stability,” said Erbil resident Serhang Necmettin, calling on both the PKK and Türkiye to pursue dialogue over violence. Similarly, local Turkmen Dilaver Bezirgan described the development as “an important step for coexistence.”

Nihat Cevat added, “If this process brings peace, it will end years of suffering and strengthen regional stability.”

Many in the KRG emphasized that war should no longer be the solution. “We long for peace,” said İbrahim Adnan, urging Türkiye to accelerate its support for the disarmament process.
