As the head of state noted, according to new studies, at least 200 thousand people were shot in Babi Yar.
“Babi Yar is a common tragedy of the Jewish and Ukrainian peoples. Black, ugly page of world history … The tragedy of Babi Yar touched everyone. Even if someone’s relative, friend or acquaintance was not killed here, it affected everyone. Every person who considers himself human. After all, what happened here is a crime against the species, against the concept of “man,” the president said.
Zelensky thanked all those present, in particular the Presidents of Germany and Israel, who arrived in Ukraine on a visit.
“This is proof of the unity of our views. If you like, a test for like-minded people. As for me, we passed it successfully“, – he stressed.
As you know, 80 years ago, in Babi Yar, on the territory of Kiev, the Nazis committed one of the largest crimes in the history of World War II. In two days, the Nazis shot 34,000 Jews in the tract.
