Deputy Economy Minister Yair Golan says that Israel needs to maintain careful relations with Russia, but must still condemn its invasion of Ukraine.
“There is a concern of ruining ties and harming the coordination with Russia when it comes to Syria,” Golan tells the Kan public radio. “But at this point of its attack on Ukraine, we must condemn it strongly.”
