TL;DR Summary

The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine has left mudflats littered with skulls, some of which may be from the Battle of the Dnipro during the Second World War. Historians suggest that the remains could be of people who died in the battle fought 80 years ago over the same terrain now at the centre of Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian occupation.
