Ukraine’s Jewish community was rattled today by an anti-Semitic pamphlet distributed in Donetsk, a city in the country’s eastern region where the government has been battling separatists.
The leaflet, purporting to be signed by Denis Pushilin, the leader of the Donetsk People’s Republic separatist group, said Jewish people were required to register with authorities, the Donetsk Jewish Community said on its website. The pamphlets were a form of provocation and the Donetsk People’s Republic had nothing to do with them, said Alexander Maltsev, a spokesman.
