Foreign Minister Yair Lapid will hold a situational assessment on Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry says.

The Ministry says it is in contact with diplomatic staff who are now located in the western city of Lviv after diplomats were moved out of the capital Kyiv in recent days.

Some 8,000 Israelis are believed to remain in Ukraine and preparations have also been made to help the Jewish community there.

The ministry says it will issue an update after the meeting.
