Brink compares Russian airstrikes on Ukraine with Nazi atrocities in Babyn Yar
“My walk through Babyn Yar was a sobering reminder of the Nazi horrors committed against Jews and others, which Russian missiles made all too real again striking nearby and killing innocents,” she wrote on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
“We must never forget and we must help Ukraine defend against these latest atrocities,” Brink stressed.
Мої відвідини Бабиного Яру стали чітким нагадуванням про звірства нацистів, скоєних проти євреїв та інших, які російські ракети знову зробили дуже реальними, завдаючи ударів і вбиваючи невинних. Ми ніколи не повинні про це забувати і маємо допомогти 🇺🇦 захиститися від цих звірств pic.twitter.com/G2MMki9Wqa

As Ukrinform reported, on July 14, Russia struck Vinnytsia with Kalibr missiles, launched from a submarine deployed in the Black Sea. According to latest reports, the strike killed 23 people, including three children. Currently, 73 injured persons stay in hospitals. As many as 18 people are considered missing.
European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell and European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič said in a statement that there can be no impunity for war crimes committed by Russian military in Ukraine and those responsible for the barbaric shelling of Vinnytsia and the killing of civilians in other cities of Ukraine will be held accountable.
