Today in Ukraine, we honor the memory of the victims of Babyn Yar, a site that has become a symbol of horrific events. Here, during World War II, the Nazis executed thousands of individuals — Jews, Ukrainians, Romani people.

Babyn Yar is not just a historical event; it serves as a reminder of the horrific consequences of hatred and intolerance. In remembering the fallen, we collectively declare, "never again" and reaffirm our commitment that such atrocities must not happen again.

Odesa, along with the entire nation, bows its head in remembrance of the innocently murdered.

On this somber anniversary, a ceremony took place in Prokhorovskyi Square in Odesa, where flowers were laid at the monument to the victims of the Holocaust and the ghetto prisoners.

May the memory of all who perished at Babyn Yar be eternal.
