Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk condemns the terrorist attack in Beersheba yesterday that killed four civilians.

“The murder in Beersheba is a vicious and despicable act of pure terrorism,” he writes on Facebook. “I extend my sincere condolences to the families of the victims and wish a full recovery to those who were injured.”

“Any human being striving for freedom and peace in the world should condemn any brutal murder of innocent civilians,” he adds.

Korniychuk has been critical of Israel for refusing to send military aid — including helmets and flak jackets — to Ukrainians fighting against the Russian invasion.
