In Mariupol the thirteen portable crematoriums the Russian brought in to burn all the bodies of the civilians the Russians executed is not enough to take care of the overwhelming numbers. Putin's Russians are resorting to mass graves to hide their crimes.

Local officials in Mariupol have accused Russia of burying up to 9,000 Ukrainian civilians to conceal a slaughter taking place in the
ruined port city that is almost entirely under the Kremlin’s control.
Satellite images from Maxar Technologies published on Thursday show around 200 mass graves have appeared in Manhush, outside Mariupol, stretching away from an existing cemetery.
However the city’s mayor, Vadym Boychenko, said the total number is far higher and accused the Russians of “hiding their military crimes” by taking the bodies of civilians from the city and burying them in Manhush.
Mr Boychenko labelled Russian actions as “the new Babi Yar”, a reference to the site of multiple Nazi massacres in Kyiv in which nearly 34,000 Ukrainian Jews were killed in 1941.
Mr Boychenko and the Mariupol city council have previously accused Russia of using mobile crematoriums to conceal evidence of war crimes and said it was an example of “murderers covering their tracks”.
i could not independently verify the claims.
Mass graves and dead civilians have also been discovered in Bucha and other towns around Kyiv after Russian troops retreated three weeks ago, despite Russian officials denying that their soldiers killed any civilians there and accusing Ukraine of staging the atrocities. Many of the bodies showed signs of being raped and tortured.
Maxar said a review of previous images indicates that the graves in Manhush were dug in late March and expanded in recent weeks.
