The peculiar Russian missile “cemetery” in eastern Ukraine

The blueish cylinders are lined up in rows according to their size, making an impressive if shocking sight from the air

Newsroom December 23 09:02

The eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has a peculiar “cemetery,” one that recalls some of the worst damage done since the Russian invasion: the debris of rockets used against this town and its people.

The graveyard has more than a thousand missiles, or parts of them. Local authorities hope they can help provide information for any prosecution case against Russians authorities and soldiers. And one day, maybe, they will become part of a museum of the atrocities in the country.

The blueish cylinders are lined up in rows according to their size, making an impressive if shocking sight from the air.

Dmytro Chubenko, spokesman for the Kharkiv region’s Prosecutor Office, said that the rockets have been collected since the first attacks, and after some time officials decided to organize them by type.
