Russian missile hits ancient Jewish cemetery in Pervomaisk

Russia has carried out a cynical strike on a Jewish cemetery in Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region. This happened on August 19.

This was reported by the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine, Moshe Reuven Azman.

He noted that on August 19, a Russian missile hit an ancient Jewish cemetery in the city of Pervomaisk. The strike fell right in the middle of the cemetery, damaging many graves.

“I spoke with the rabbi of the city of Pervomaisk, Levi Perelshtein, rescue services and specialists are working there now. In the near future, we will be able to assess the full scale of this crime,” the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine said.

Moshe Reuven Azman added that this is not the first such incident. Russian strikes on Jewish cemeteries in Kyiv, Hlukhiv, Bila Tserkva and other places have already been recorded. Even Babyn Yar has been hit several times.

“The dead cannot answer or stand up for themselves, but it is the duty of the living,” he stressed.
