He stressed that Ukraine is still counting on a lot of help from Tel Aviv.
Ukraine is counting on great help from Israel, in particular in the reception of Ukrainian refugees forced to flee their homes in the war zone, said Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk.
“We are disappointed with the decision of the Minister of Internal Affairs to prevent all Ukrainian refugees from entering Israel. We believe that you remember the times of World War II, when Ukrainians saved the lives of Jews during the Holocaust. Ukraine ranks fourth in the number of citizens who received the title of Righteous Among the Nations. We saved the lives of Jews, and we ask you to help Ukrainians overcome this tragedy now, “the Jerusalem Post quoted the ambassador as saying.
The diplomat reminded that Kyiv had repeatedly called on the country's authorities to reconsider such a policy and provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians.
“I try to be diplomatic. Part of my family is in Ukraine. We need more help, and we have received more support from other partners than from Israel. But we hope that decisions will be made, and Israel will provide more assistance in the near future, “said Yevgeny Korniychuk.
It will be recalled that, according to the UN, 4.1 million citizens have left Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian aggression on February 24. At the same time, on March 15, Israel set quotas for the reception of Ukrainian refugees in the amount of 5 thousand. man.
Subsequently , the Supreme Court of Israel ordered the representatives of the authorities to reconsider the decision to introduce an entry quota for citizens of Ukraine, but the decisions on quotas have not changed.
