In Kyiv, construction equipment was spotted in the Pozniaky neighborhood, which began digging up an earthen wall adjacent to the Darnytsia Cemetery. Without understanding the situation, social media users began to claim that the graves were already falling down, but this was denied by law enforcement.

The cemetery is located on Kharkiv Highway. A video of the work was posted on social media.

"Some kind of construction has begun in Pozniaky. Everything would be fine, except for the Darnytsia cemetery on top. The graves are just falling," the message says.

The video shows that special equipment is working right next to the cemetery.
