Ukrainian officials reported Tuesday that a Russian missile strike apparently targeting Kyivs main TV and radio tower had also hit the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial . Five people died in the bombing.

To the world: what is the point of saying never again for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least 5 killed. History repeating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted Tuesday .

The attack comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin invoked World War II as a justification for invading Ukraine, saying he wanted to denazify the country.

As The Washington Post noted , Putins comments were likely meant to help sell the invasion back home, where rhetoric around fighting fascism resonates deeply still.

Other countries quickly called Putin out for his cynical twisting of history. To start, Zelenskyy himself is Jewish and had family members killed in the Holocaust.
