Bodies of apparent Russian soldiers arranged in Z after Ukraine retakes areaBy Yaron Steinbuch

A gruesome image has emerged of the bodies of four apparent Russian soldiers arranged in a Z — a symbol of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The macabre scene was photographed Monday near a village recently retaken by Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Kharkiv after heavy fighting over several days.
Associated Press journalists saw the bodies formed into a Z, like the symbol found on Russian armored vehicles. The corpses bore white arm bands commonly used by Russian troops.
Also lying nearby was the charred body of a man propped on an anti-tank barrier. The door to an apartment also opened to three bodies inside.
The unidentified remains were all taken to a morgue later.
There was no explanation for the Z formation or the propped burned body — a possible war crime for disrespecting the dignity of the dead.
