'Putin, I wish for you to die,' one woman says in the video, before everyone in the shelter chants, 'We want peace!'
A video shared widely on social media Thursday purportedly shows elderly Ukrainian Jews who identify themselves as Holocaust survivors making impassioned pleas for peace from a bomb shelter in Kyiv.
CBS News cannot independently verify the video, which had been seen almost 1 million times after being tweeted by retired U.S. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, former director for European affairs of the U.S. National Security Council. "Holocaust survivors in a bomb-shelter in Ukraine, cursing Putin and asking for peace," Vindman labeled the clip.
One of the elderly women in the video identifies herself as Lukash Tamara Oleksiivna. She says she was born in 1939 and lived in Kyiv before World War II started. She describes the current bombardment of the city as"a horror." "Putin, I wish for you to die. Leave us, you b*****d," she says to the person recording the video, before everyone in the shelter chants,"We want peace!"
