In the Jewish quarter of the city of Uman, Cherkasy region, a man drew a swastika on the building of the canteen. This was reported by the United Jewish Community of Ukraine in its Telegram channel on April 16, 2024.
The incident occurred on April 12 near the pilgrimage quarter of the Bratslav Hasidim.
"An unknown person painted the facade of the building, which has Jewish inscriptions, with a swastika and the abbreviation 'A.C.A.B.', which expresses hostility to the police," the report said.
The United Jewish Organization of Ukraine reminds that, according to Ukrainian law, the use of symbols of totalitarian regimes, in particular Nazi symbols, is prohibited and may be punishable by imprisonment up to 5 years.
