These are genuine graves with genuine dead people inside and genuine crosses above them, often trying to describe the contents, such as "17 Ukrainian soldiers".

I don't think I'm qualified to comment about their actual contents, but it seems that these (soldiers and victims of the war) graveyards were described in Russian telegram war channels in spring already.

Yeah there's a months-old video from the Russian MoD showing the burying process at that exact site in Izyum, I don't think there's much to it
Bucha though, I've seen drone footage of civilians getting executed by Russian BMPs.
You could argue the systematicity of that process, but Russia's occupation west of Kyiv undeniably caused a large number of civilian casualties
