On March 30, in a number of Russian media, Telegram channels and social networks, photographs appeared allegedly proving the use of the synagogue in the city of Uman as a collection point of weapons and soldiers of the Armed Forces. We decided to check whether the Ukrainian army really turned the synagogue into a military facility.
At the morning briefing on March 30, 2022, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Igor Konashenkov did The next statement: “The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly exposed the cynical lie, which the Kiev nationalist regime uses to preserve its power in Ukraine and mislead the world community. So, for example, on March 20, the President of Zelensky, speaking with a video message to the Israeli Knesset, accused Russia of allegedly blows around the city of Uman of the Cherkasy region. To strengthen the dramatic effect, Zelensky said, I quote that "this place that tens of thousands of Israelis for pilgrimage visits every year."
I want to emphasize that during a special military operation, Russian armed forces do not strike at civilian facilities. Moreover, according to cult structures and any other places of public service. It is the Kiev regime, in violation of international humanitarian law and just moral norms, who uses such objects as points of collecting and transporting weapons and Nazis to participate in hostilities. Today we present the evidence of the use of the building of the new city synagogue received from one of the Jewish community of the Uman, located in Shossein Lane, house 1. On the ongoing on March 21, that is, the next day after the performance of Zelensky in the Knesset, the photographs recorded the formation of two columns with nationalists on the territory of the synagogue.
I draw attention to the fact that property, weapons and ammunition stored in the synagogue building were first loaded with nationalists in the body of dump trucks, and then disguised as bags with construction garbage. At the same time, for transportation from the western regions of Ukraine, nationalists and foreign mercenaries are used, as can be clearly seen in photographs, buses that have the coloring of school vehicles with the corresponding signs "Children". Thus, the object of the Jewish cult in Uman is deliberately used by the Kyiv nationalist regime for military purposes, so that in case of fire influence on it to provoke the conflict and political pressure of Jewish religious organizations on Russia. ”
The photo mentioned above, or rather, screenshots of recording from the camera of external video surveillance also published, for example, “RIA Novosti" "Channel One", TV channel "Star", "Vesti.ru", "Russian newspaper" And Telegram channel "Warrior of Russian Spring".
The images really show the synagogue building in Uman, and next to it there are a certain number of military. Also at different times of the day, buses and a truck are captured, in the back of which there are some bags. However, at all photos, the gates to the site and doors of the synagogue are closed, there is not a single person on the territory of the building.
In addition, the united Jewish community of Ukraine in his Telegram channel officially She saidthat all synagogues and Jewish objects in Ukraine are used exclusively for their intended purpose to carry out religious activities or assistance to members of Jewish communities and the local population. The Rabi Nakhmann Foundation in Uman also confirmed that this synagogue (the second largest in Ukraine) has been closed from the moment Rosh-A-Shan (Jewish New Year), which was celebrated in September 2021, and has not been used since then.
Exclusively for the editorial office of “verified” his commentary directly from the synagogue building in Uman was recorded on the video by the head of the Jewish rescue organization “Hatsala Ukraine”, Rabbi Gilel Cohen. According to him, the Jewish community provides only humanitarian support to the population, but is in no way connected with the military. Below is his full comment and video with the appeal.
“Today, March 30, publications appeared that here, in this holy synagogue in Uman, they are holding military objects, that it is used for military purposes. This is not true, this is a fake. And we, the Jewish community, are very sorry for this. We are generally in no way connected with these military operations. There are many synagogues in Uman, there are many synagogues throughout Ukraine, and we were never asked to keep some kind of weapon or something similar, [asked] only about humanitarian assistance. Please do not believe in this fake. These are holy places, and we pray for a single country, for a single Ukraine. We pray for the world. And we ask everyone: check any information, check any source that feeds you [lies]. We are very sorry that such holy places are used for politics, for war. And we pray that all the refugees of Ukraine are more likely to return home, including all Jewish communities. We are already waiting for your return. ”
To the question of why in the pictures that were at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian military turned out to be next to the synagogue, we cannot yet answer. Perhaps the Armed Forces of Ukraine used for their purposes the buildings nearby, which do not belong to the territory of the synagogue. However, no weapons and ammunition in the synagogue building in Uman were stored for sure.
