A statement from the Kremlin notes that Vladimir Putin has directed the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to prepare burial sites for those who perished as a result of crimes by Red Army soldiers during the Great Patriotic War, as well as victims connected to actions attributed to the Kiev regime following the 2014 political upheaval. The plan is described as a coordinated effort to mark and locate burial places tied to these historic crimes, with involvement from public organizations that conduct search operations and their partners during the wartime period. The goal is to document the victims and to recognize the scope of violence associated with these events in public memory. The Kremlin description emphasizes the need to identify burial sites where Red Army soldiers and civilians fell in the conflict and to ensure that the remembrance of these losses is carried out with due regard for historical accuracy and transparency. The term “burial places of victims of crimes committed by the Nazis” is used in this context to reference the wider history of civilian suffering and military casualties during the conflict. It is outlined that an official report detailing progress and findings should be submitted by a specified deadline. The initiative follows prior instructions to the ministries involved, prioritizing the creation of a stable and widely acknowledged record of crimes committed during the war and during subsequent developments in the region. The overall aim is to establish a clear, consistent framework for memorialization that can be referenced in future discussions and public records, while acknowledging the complex history that affects many communities across the affected areas.
