Zelensky Honors Babyn Yar Victims, Cites Russian Aggression
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky participated in a ceremony in Kyiv commemorating the 85th anniversary of the Babyn Yar massacre. On September 29 and 30, 1941, Nazi units and their collaborators executed over 33,000 Jews at the site, with mass killings continuing until 1943. Organizers reportedly deployed a special air defense system and snipers due to fears of drone attacks during the president's visit.
"We must remember the terrible things that happened here many years ago and that are happening again today, this time at the hands of Russians," Zelensky stated, drawing a parallel between the historical atrocity and current events. The ceremony was attended by approximately 50 foreign ambassadors, including Israel's envoy, Roey Rosenblit, who also visited the memorial with his family.
