Why is this important for Israel?
Israel understands the value of life and terror when innocents become victims. The connection between Ukraine and Israel is based on similar historical experiences: Holodomor, Holocaust and the fight against aggressors.
On the website NAnews – Israel News we talk about important events that shape the future of the two nations. We call on the international community to increase pressure on Russia to stop the humanitarian catastrophe.
“These data once again show that Russian aggression is a deliberate genocide of the Ukrainian people.”,” the UN emphasizes.
