On February 22, 2026, just days before the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the United Jewish Community of Ukraine published a chronological record of Jewish sites damaged or destroyed since February 2022.

The list includes synagogues, Jewish schools, community buildings, social institutions, cemeteries and Holocaust memorial sites across the country. According to the monitoring data, approximately forty Jewish-related objects have sustained confirmed damage.

This record is not “for the sake of reporting.” It shows how war strikes both people and memory — places of prayer, education, social care and burial.

Monitoring has been conducted continuously for four years. Due to the scale of destruction and limited access to occupied territories, the list may remain incomplete and could expand in the future.

The chronology does not always state that each site was deliberately targeted as a Jewish object.

Whether incidental or intentional, the outcome is systemic.

Below is the full documented chronology.
