A Palestine Rally at Kyiv’s Famine Memorial
An eyewitness account describes a small gathering and a hostile counterpresence outside the museum.
On September 20, 2025, about 50 people gathered outside the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide in Kyiv, according to The Ukrainians. Interviewed participants explained why they chose a site associated with the memory of famine: they wanted to connect Ukrainian historical experience to what they saw happening in Gaza. Some also expressed support for Ukraine’s own military defence.
The reporter described people with far-right views arriving with signs and shouting, and said some rally participants were reluctant to give their names because of safety concerns. This documents tension at the gathering and an effect on how participants spoke to the press. The report does not identify a museum closure, transport interruption, injury or property damage.
An attendance estimate comes from observation at the site. Evidence of a service interruption would require a separate record, such as a notice from the museum, police or a transport operator.
