Zelensky honors memory of victims of mass shootings in Babyn Yar

According to Ukrinform, the President posted a video of the commemoration ceremony, which took place at the Babyn Yar National Historical and Memorial Reserve, on Telegram.

"Even during the war, we never forget the tragedy of Babyn Yar, the tragedy of the Holocaust. This tragedy was so immense because the world was too slow and silently watched as the fascists carried out their aggression. The tragedy of Babyn Yar is an example of why today the world cannot stand aside, silently observing Russia’s aggression," Zelensky emphasized.

 The President reminded that "At Babyn Yar, the Nazis killed about one hundred thousand people during the occupation. They destroyed almost the entire Jewish community of Kyiv, as well as representatives of other nationalities."

"Eternal memory to all the victims," Zelensky stated.

As reported by Ukrinform, on September 29, Ukraine commemorates the victims of the Babyn Yar tragedy, which has become one of the most horrific symbols of the Holocaust.
