The Ministry for Defence for Ukraine has accused Russia of a 'mini-Auschwitz' - after they claimed a bucket full of dental crowns was found on retaken land.
The Ukrainian army has gone on a counter attack in recent weeks after months of protecting their land from the illegal invasion by Russian forces which began all the way back in February.
The north-eastern region of Kharkiv is one of the major points of the counter-offensive, with major gains being made by Ukrainian forces since it was launched.

However, with those counter-offensives come some grim discoveries or alleged discoveries, the latest of which has led to thoughts going all the way back to the Second World War.
The area of Pisky-Radkivski was retaken by Ukraine earlier this week, and the Ministry for Defence have said that two items were found.
In a statement on social media, they wrote: "A gas mask that was put on the head of a victim who was covered with a smoldering rag and buried alive. And a box of gold dental crowns. A mini Auschwitz. How many more will be found in occupied Ukraine?"
These supposed offences took place in what Ukraine claim were "torture rooms" across the village in Kharkiv.
Meanwhile, a 23-year-old Irishman has become a casualty in the illegal war.
Rory Mason, 23, from Dunboyne, Co Meath, was killed on Wednesday, September 28, whilst serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkiv Region, near the Russian border.
The family, who have been left heartbroken, are now prioritising the repatriation of Rory's remains.
Tributes have been paid to the young man who was described as " truly brave and courageous".
