Ukrainian PM urges citizens to remember Babiy Yar tragedy

Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has called on citizens of Ukraine never to forget the victims of the Babiy Yar tragedy.

"There were Jews, Roma people, Soviet prisoners of war and fighters of the Ukrainian liberation movement among those executed by firing squads. We remember each of them," the prime minister wrote on his Facebook account on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Babiy Yar massacre.

Groysman also cited Academician Ivan Dziuba, who said that the Babiy Yar executions were a tragedy for the whole of mankind, which, however, had happened on the Ukrainian land and, consequently, the Ukrainians, as well as the Jews, had no right to forget it.
