Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, unfurls a large Ukrainian flag at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and offers a prayer for peace on the third anniversary of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the start of the war there.
The Ukrainian embassy in Israel wrote in a post on social media earlier today that “Ukraine has endured and continues to defend its freedom and independence.”
Embassy staff, members of the Ukrainian community, and the non-profit organization Israeli Friends of Ukraine join the ceremony as a light snow falls on the capital.
