I've read a while back than France24 reported this: "British website The Telegraph is reporting that Russia is using mobile crematoriums in Ukraine in bid to hide its losses. But the accompanying video footage of a crematorium actually dates from 2013. It was posted by a Russian incinerator construction company and is not footage from the ground. The use of mobile crematoriums by Russians during the current war in Ukraine is yet to be verified. We tell you more in this edition. " https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20220228-are-russians-using-mobile-crematoriums-in-ukraine https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20220228-... This hasn't been updated for a month, still market as "unverified". Same on Snopes, "unproven": https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russia-mobile-crematoriums/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russia-mobile-crematoriums... I don't see anything about mobile crematoriums in the tweets linked, was the tweet taken down or something?

While for the reasons unknown you may sympathize with indefensible, I implore you to look into this document https://docs.cntd.ru/document/727930017?marker=64S0IJ https://docs.cntd.ru/document/727930017?marker=64S0IJ it approves the application of an actual, no it's not a joke, government standard of mass burials during both peacetime and war. The referenced standard describes in detail how mass burials must be conducted. Why is it important? russia may be at this point a non-human regime but it is still a bureaucracy that follows certain procedures. Therefore, no matter how inhuman of an act something is, it has a high chance to be documented and declared as a procedure. This document is discussed in the twitter thread alongside other references.

  There is a lot of conjecture in that thread. Assuming the materials describing procedure for mass burials are true, he immediately jumps to the conclusion that the Russians planned for a quick victory followed by genocide.
