Zaporizhzhia Stands in Solidarity With Magdeburg

On 20 December, a devastating tragedy struck our sister city, Magdeburg. A car plowed into a Christmas market, claiming the lives of four people and leaving more than forty seriously injured. In total, over 200 adults and children were affected by this horrific incident.

The people of Zaporizhzhia are deeply shaken by this cruel act in a peaceful city preparing for the joy of Christmas.

Today, our hearts and thoughts are with Magdeburg—its citizens, our colleagues, and partners.

We share in your pain and grief. To the families of those who lost their lives, we offer our deepest condolences. To those injured, we wish a swift recovery. To the entire Magdeburg community, we send strength and solidarity as you navigate this difficult time.

Zaporizhzhia stands with the people of Magdeburg.
