Alex, a Ukrainian soldier who goes by the nickname of Zion, shows the Ynet news site in Kyiv that he carries a biography of former prime minister Golda Meir in his military bag.
“This is my favorite book, and I’ll take it with me even if it my last battle,” he says.
He’s not Jewish and refers to himself as a Ukrainian nationalist and a Zionist.
