Pavlichenko: "According to the National Police, we currently have more than 1,600 unidentified bodies on the territory of Ukraine. But a certain number of territories are still under occupation, and we understand that this picture is not complete.

A lot of completely burnt bodies have been found (in the Kyiv region – ed.) And a body in such a condition can no longer be subjected to any examinations. 

And we are aware that the occupiers burned the bodies to hide the traces of other crimes. Therefore, where it is possible to conduct examinations of bodies for sexual violence, they are conducted there."
