KILLING THEM AGAIN: Putin Bombs the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial [VIDEO]

Apparently once wasn’t enough for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff has confirmed that Russian airstrikes have struck and damaged the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center in central Kyiv.

The center was established in commemoration of the massive massacre of Ukrainian Jews in Babi Yar by the Nazis in September of 1941.

Putin has said repeatedly that he wants to liberate Ukraine from “Nazis.” But apparently he’s just making sure Hitler’s mission is properly completed.

The airstrike seems to have been targeting the Ukrainian TV Tower. Multiple social media outlets in Ukraine report that TV channels stopped broadcasting several minutes after the strikes.

  1. It’s a little disengenuous of you to use this headline to imply that Russia was responsible for the Babi Yar massacre. Not that Russia has a stellar record of how it has treated Jews, but Babi Yar was the Nazis in collaboration with the Ukrainians, who were notorious antisemites. The Ukrainian police was the major perpetrator of the Holocaust in Soviet territories based on native origins. They killed 150,000 in the Volhin region.

  2. Just saying, I’m not sure who has the better track record when it comes to murdering Jews, the Russians or the Ukrainians…

  3. YWN is engaging in hyperbole again. Feeding a false frenzy shocking headline.
    The article talks about “damaging” Babi Yar center (not where the Kedoshim are buried) but the video shown is about a tv tower. Talk about fake news.
    You can’t trust any news or report coming out of either side. Both Ukraine and Russia are as corrupt as they come.

  4. Babi Yar was carried out with help from Ukrainian militia. This in no way excuses Russia’s war of aggression but let’s be clear eyed that this incident is being used as propaganda. Don’t buy into it.

  5. In all fairness, many sources have suggested the Russians are not really capable of accurately targeting and are just dropping bombs without regard to where they land. Since deliberately killing civilians is now considered to be a war crime, it is likely that if the Russians get charged their defense will be that were just not good at aiming.

  6. dont get involved especially now, but won’t swear who did it ?
    also Putin wants to show hey you Ukrainens dont put memorials on , ehat you did , Hasehem Yarachemm , also have senses and surender and be alive,
    Russia is a wild animal , better live then Die, and zelenski retire better alive ten dead
    DOPE

  7. What an unsurprisingly ridiculous headline and article from YWN.

    “Apparently he’s just making sure Hitler’s mission is properly completed”…if you need a refresher in history, the Ukrainians were willing accomplices of the Nazis (and according to some survivors, even more brutal than the actual Nazis), while the Russians liberated Auschwitz and other concentration camps.

    Additionally, during this very war, many website (including this one) are reporting that many non-Jews are sheltering in shuls because they believe that the Russians will not attack there.

    It’s very clear that the Russians here intended to destroy a cell-tower, and that damage to the memorial was an unintended consequence. At the end of the day, it’s a memorial which was built for appearance and not repentance. Most likely, the victims of the Babi Yar massacre are rooting for the Russians and not the Ukrainians.

  8. “If the US gives more weapons this scene will be happening in Brooklyn..”

    LakewoodBT: The Russians have declared a protected “safe zone” within a 50 mile radius around Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay. Lakewood is at least 15 miles outside the safe zone, so perhaps consider making pesach with the mishpacha in BP or Willy.

  9. This is 5782/2022, Ukraine is a newly democratic sovereign nation. (with a Jewish president btw) They were savagely invaded by another nation. It’s their citizens, men, women and children being killed and terrorized. It’s clear that putin is the aggressor.

  10. When the Germans began their occupation of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, around 2.5 million Jews were trapped in the Ukraine region. After the Nazi invasion, which was greatly expedited by local collaborators, only 100,000 to 120,000 survived.

    But the Ukrainians had been doing this to their Jewish neighbours for years. In 1919 alone, around 1,300 pogroms took place in the Ukrainian territories, resulting in 50,000 to 60,000 deaths and 1 million displaced people (Tabarovsky, 2011).

    Their are still a few people alive today who can tell you what utter murdering vermin the Ukrainians were. A land drenched in the innocent blood of Jewish men women and children.

  11. What is wrong with this title? (Perhaps it has been changed?). Reliable news services around the world have reported Russian targeting of the BY memorial. No-one is suggesting there was never any historic antisemitism in Ukrianine – clearly there was a ton. The point is, Putin is making an antisemitic statement by bombing a holocaust memorial. Why is that so hard to understand and digest, for goodness sakes?

  12. Nothing in that headline, Binyamingavriel, reads like an accusation that Russia was to blame for the earlier massacre there. I sometimes wonder if YWN readers understand different versions of English.

    As to which country’s citizens hate Jews more: It doesn’t matter. We can’t judge world affairs based on such considerations; they’ve all shown themselves to be capable of some really nasty actions towards us. We should want peace and stability in the world. Russia is unilaterally destroying that peace.

  13. I noticed a disturbing pattern lately within our community, it has become stylish to defend Putin, it’s almost become dogma that whatever the media feeds you is propaganda. I’m aware that the media is biased most of the time and that they like to spin the narrative the way it suits them best, but in this case i can’t help but feel disgust. Why are we defending Putin an evil man, a former KGB agent, a bully who wants to subjugate his neighbor simply because he has the means to do so. We can argue whether America is to blame in this conflict, but what is undeniable is that Putin is evil and ruthless, a coldblooded murderer who hired mercenaries just the other day to hunt down Ukrainian officials, and will even nuke ukraine if it doesn’t go his way. Why are we defending him? Footage don’t lie, you see how the Russians blow up the memorial in babi yar, but benevolent Putin didn’t intend it? Are you guys for real? How far are we gonna go to defend Putin just to make a point that the media is not trustworthy? Don’t get blinded by right wing or left wing propaganda. stay focused. It doesn’t take an Einstein to realize that Putin is violating human rights, so you may as well stop defending this monster.

  14. I think the point is that this is bombing of civilian infrastructure in the downtown of a > 1 mln-people city: TV station, memorials, …

  15. How can you kill the dead again? Are bombs supposed to magically avoid hitting cemeteries and memorials?!

    The old Jewish cemetery in Frankfurt is an empty field because an allied bomb hit it. Does that make the allies antisemites?! Does it make sense to condemn them for it?! Of course not.

  16. If Trump thinks Putin’s a genius then all his Frum Chassidim follow lockstep. It’s all Biden’s fault, as well as inflation, crime, & everything else going on. If only Trump was still president we’d be living in Gan Eden. For some reason, every other person who worked for him, his extended family members, has a bitter taste for him. This entire situation was orchestrated for us by the Borei Olom, forget about Biden or Trump or Ukrainians during WW2. I believe Putin is a ruthless killer who would love to drop some nuclear weapons on America just to show the power he has to inflict death. He props up Iran, North Korea & China. I hope a Purim Miracle sends him the way of Homon during the month of Adar.
