Ukrainian Forces Used Uman Synagogue To Store Weapons

Moscow, March 30: Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces have been using a synagogue in the Uman city to store weapons.

“Today we are presenting evidence received from one of the members of the Jewish community of Uman that [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy’s regime used the building of the new city synagogue … for these [military] purpose. On March 21, that is, the day after Zelenskyy’s speech in Knesset, photographs recorded the formation of two columns with nationalists on the territory of the synagogue,” Konashenkov told a briefing.

Zelenskyy’s statement that Russia forces targeted Uman that is visited by pilgrims from Israel is a “cynical lie,” Konashenkov said.
