As Congress debates President Joe Biden’s request of $64 billion for Ukraine, following the $113 billion that has already been sent, the eastern European nation is acting in violation of international human rights law, and a bilateral agreement with the United States, by desecrating a Jewish cemetery — and is refusing to respond to congressional inquiry about it.
Ukraine has vacuumed up billions of U.S. tax dollars, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently traveled to Washington to request more. But his country is undermining a 1994 agreement with the United States, and is violating the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, by digging up a Jewish cemetery in Uman, Ukraine, to build condos.
A project that began in the summer of 2016 in the Ukrainian city of Uman, a well-known site of Jewish pilgrimage as the burial place of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, as well as a mass grave of victims of the Haidamacks massacre, has seen human remains being dug up as early as summer of 2022, according to a report in Ukrainian media. The site sees tens of thousands of Jewish visitors from around the world on Rosh Hashana alone, and thousands more throughout the year, even during wartime.
Ukraine and the United States signed a bilateral agreement in 1994, agreeing to “take appropriate steps to preserve the cultural heritage of all national, religious, or ethnic groups … who reside or resided in its territory and were such victims of the Second World War.”

Ukraine was always pretty antisemitic. So I’m not surprised.
I thought the war to end all wars was going on there.
The USA fought WW2 without receiving foreign handouts of billions.
Ukraine produces fuel, grain, potatoes, carrots, apples, pears, etc.
It can recycle artillery brass.
Zelensky is against the God of the Bible.
He cracked down on Christian Churches and now snubs his nose at Jews.
Nazis gonna nazi...
Note to Congress: We American taxpayers can’t afford to feed our families, pay our rent/mortgages, buy gas, pay for insurances, etc. because of your out of control spending policies.
Our country is being invaded. At least 11 MILLION illegals have crossed the border since Biden’s been in the White House and WE have to pay for every aspect of their lives.
And why does our government care more about Ukrainians than they do Americans?
You care more about securing their border than you do ours.
The working people of this country are being bled dry. We have no more money to fund the Zelensky/Biden Money Laundering Operation.
Not another dime to Ukraine.
"According to local press reports in March, 2023, illegal construction took place on the protected area of the cemetery, and a Ukrainian court ordered whatever was built to be demolished.
The court stated the project was “in violation of the law,” “spontaneously built within the protection zone of the monument ‘Grave of Tzadik Nachman 1811’,” ordering the structure to be demolished at the developer’s expense."
Doesn't sound like this is Ukrainian government policy.
The worst Nazis are Jewish so it seems. Time to cut Ukraine loose.
