Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky call all the people Jewish in the world not to remain silent on the Russian attacks. Moreover, the military troops sent by Vladimir Putin fired missiles that destroyed the television tower in Kiev, which was built on the site of the historic Holocaust.
“I am now speaking to all the Jews in the world. Don’t you see what is happening? That is why it is so important that millions of Jews around the world do not remain silent at this time,” Zelensky said. AFP, Wednesday (2/3).
“Nazism was born in silence. So shout about the killing of civilians. Shout about the killing of Ukrainians.”
Russia had previously reportedly destroyed a memorial to the Holocaust tragedy, according to the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, Andriy Yermak. The memorial is located near the tower of the Kiev television station.
The Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial website has released a statement confirming that the memorial has been the target of a Russian attack.
“Putin’s attempts to distort and manipulate the Holocaust to justify the illegal invasion of a sovereign democracy are absolutely disgusting. It is a symbol that he is starting to attack Kiev by bombing the holocaust monument site at Babi Yar,” said Babi Yar Holocaust Monument Advisory Council Chair Natan Sharansky. .
Putin’s attack on the Jewish symbol is closely linked to the figure of Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky. Citing from various sources, Zelensky was born on January 25, 1978. He was born to Jewish parents in the metropolitan city of Kryvyi Rih, in southern Ukraine.
