"The tragedy of Babyn Yar is known all over the world. In 2020, the construction of the Babyn Yar National Historical and Memorial Reserve is planned to begin in Ukraine. It should include the Ukrainian Holocaust Museum and the Babyn Yar Victims Memorial Museum,” Zelensky noted.
The Ukrainian president emphasized that he and the government would pay due attention to the given issue.
The head of state commended the political dialogue between Ukraine and Israel. "I am sure that we must continue to develop our close ties," Zelensky stressed.
