Kyiv highlights Russia-Hamas links as dozens of Ukrainians leave Gaza

Russia stands with Hamas, says Ukraine’s embassy in Israel in a Facebook post.

“There is no room for doubt,” the embassy writes, “They host Hamas leaders. They did not condemn the terrible massacre that occurred on 7.10. They issue statements against Israel.”

The embassy also points out the attempted lynching of Jews in Dagestan last week.

“Israel is dealing with terrorism, and Ukraine is dealing with terrorism. Terror is terror, no matter where and against whom – we must not allow it to grow!” continues the post.

On X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says 43 Ukrainian nationals have been able to leave the Gaza Strip. He says Ukrainian diplomats also helped 36 Moldovan citizens reach safety in Egypt.

“Our embassies in Israel and Egypt, as well as other relevant agencies, are working hard to get more of our citizens out of Gaza,” he says.
