(Jewish Group) Russia strikes Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial site in Ukraine

Russian missiles and shells struck the site of Babyn Yar, where tens of thousands of Jews were massacred during the Holocaust, during Moscow’s assault on Kyiv on Tuesday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy took to Twitter to condemn the attack.

“To the world: what is the point of saying ‘never again’ for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar?” Zelensky wrote. “At least 5 killed. History repeating…”

Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s chief of staff, tweeted: “These villains are killing Holocaust victims for the second time.”
