After an airstrike near a Holocaust memorial in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the Kremlin of wanting to “wipe out” Ukraine. The shelling shows that “our Kyiv is completely alien to many people in Russia,” said the head of state in a video message.
You know nothing about our capital. About our story. But they have orders to erase our history. to wipe out our country. wipe us all out
Selenskyj, who is Jewish himself, calls on Jews all over the world to raise their voices. “Don’t you see what is happening here? It is therefore very important that millions of Jews around the world do not remain silent now,” he says. “Nazism is born in silence.”
According to Ukrainian sources, two suspected rockets hit the Kyiv television center in the immediate vicinity of Babyn Yar on Tuesday. Five random passers-by were killed and five others injured.
