Ahead of his departure for Ukraine, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz says the people of Ukraine are under “brutal attack” by Russia.
Horowitz’s trip will be the first visit to Ukraine by an Israeli government minister since Russia’s invasion began late February.
“Our humanity is measured in moments like this. We must continue to help the people who are under brutal attack by Russia,” he says in a video recorded at the airport.
“I am going to support our medical team there, which has already cared for over 1,000 people. It is a source of great pride,” Horowitz says.
The minister is expected to meet his Ukrainian counterpart and tour Israel’s field hospital in Mostyska, near Lviv.
