Russia wounded Boris Zabarka, a prisoner of a Nazi ghetto, during the shelling of Kyiv
Boris Zabarko—chairman of the All-Ukrainian Association of Former Child Prisoners of Ghettos and Nazi Concentration Camps, historian, and Holocaust researcher—was wounded during the Russian missile strike on Kyiv on July 2.
According to available information, a Russian “Zircon” hypersonic missile struck a high-rise residential building where the 90-year-old Zabarko lives. He sustained shrapnel wounds to his legs, and his apartment suffered significant damage.
During World War II, as a child, Boris Zabarko survived the Shargorod ghetto, where he was rescued by a Ukrainian family. After the war, he became a historian, dedicating his work to researching the Holocaust in Ukraine, and also served as the editor of a two-volume collection of memoirs by survivors of Nazi persecution.
News of Zabarko’s injuries was shared by his friends and colleagues, who emphasized the symbolic nature of the tragedy: a man who had survived Nazi crimes was injured as a result of a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian capital.
On the night of July 1, Russian troops carried out a massive attack with strike drones on the Dnipropetrovsk region.
As a reminder, on the evening of June 30, Russian forces attacked an electric locomotive in the Dnipropetrovsk region with a drone. There were no casualties, as the locomotive crew was warned of the danger in time, and the workers managed to take cover.
Ukrainian drones struck eight of the ten largest Russian oil refineries by processing volume, with some facilities being hit multiple times.
