The moment Zelenskyy was told Babyn Yar had been bombed
The Ukraine president's advisor informed him that Russian forces had bombed Babyn Yar - a memorial to the thousands of Jews exterminated by the Nazis.
Update:
On Tuesday, Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy was delivered the grim news that Russian forces had started bombing Babyn Yar - a memorial on the outskirts of Kyiv. Zelenskyy was giving an interview to UK broadcaster Channel 4 when he was interrupted by his Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak, who told him, "I'd like to inform just now, they're bombing Babyn Yar".
The Ukraine president was so astonished, that he had to repeat what he had just heard back to get confirmation. "That is Russia... " Zelenskyy said in disbelief, before adding ironically, "My congratulations..." Five people were killed when a Russian missile struck Babyn Yar on 1 March during an operation to destroy Kyiv TV tower on Oranzhereina Street.
