* Ukrainian authorities completed the exhumation of over 400 bodies from a mass burial site in Izium Friday. Most of the bodies have signs of violent death, and 30 have traces of torture, according to an official.
* Russia conscripted the wrong residents in one region, a local official said, including the fathers of young children. Activists have also raised concerns about ethnic minorities being disproportionately mobilized.
President Putin has fired the general charged with managing the Russian military’s faltering logistics operations in Ukraine. Gen Dmitry Bulgakov, a deputy defence minister, was removed from his role on Saturday, the defence ministry said on Telegram.
