"I have not yet seen a very large Lend-Lease from America. We have not seen it yet. But Russia will surpass America in such a Lend-Lease with broken equipment. They leave a lot of military equipment and run away. We take it for ourselves, repair the slightly damaged one, and it will be used against the side where it came from."

STORYLINE:
Ukrainian forces recover damaged Russian military vehicles in Ukrainian town of Izium on Thursday and view the damage inflicted on the area from the recent conflict.
Ukrainian authorities were also expected to begin recovering bodies Friday from a newly found mass burial site in a forest recaptured from Russian forces, a delicate task that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said would help show the world "what the Russian occupation has led to.”
The burial site, containing hundreds of graves, was discovered close to Izium after a rapid counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces liberated the northeastern city and other swaths of the Kharkiv region, breaking what was largely becoming a military stalemate in the nearly seven-month war.
Some of the Ukrainian troops spoke to the Associated Press about the devastation they have witnessed.
"There is nothing anywhere. Look at Sukhokamyanka, Dolyna, Bogorodichne, and Sviatohorsk. What is left of them? There is nothing," said Ukrainian National Guard soldier Yurii Usatyi.
Russian forces left Izium and other parts of the Kharkiv region last week amid the stunningly rapid Ukrainian counteroffensive.
On Wednesday, Zelenskyy made a rare trip outside the capital to watch the national flag being raised over Izium's city hall.
