Haaretz
A group of ten skinheads attacked two yeshiva students in Kiev, Ukraine on Sunday, critically wounding one of them and lightly hurting the other, Israel Radio reported Monday.
Rabbi Yaakov Zilberman, head of Kiev’s Jewish community, said the skinheads approached the two in an underground tunnel in the city center and attacked them with bottles, rods and knives.
The critically wounded student, 28, underwent surgery late Sunday.
Zilberman said that Jewish residents of Kiev continuously encounter acts of anti-Semitism. He said that they have appealed to the municipality with a request to protect the city’s Jewish community.
