An emotional Ukrainian ambassador addresses the conference of the Institute for National Security Studies and says Kyiv “believed” Israel is a close friend and partner.
Yevgen Korniychuk is visibly upset as he speaks about the situation in the city of Kharkiv.
“Kharkiv is the second biggest city in Ukraine. Lots of the foreign students, including Israelis, who did not evacuate on time. People have been sleeping underground for the past two weeks,” he says.
“There is a shortage of food and pharmaceutical products,” he says.
“We are seeking international assistance in all possible spheres, including from Israel — this country that we all believed is our close friend and partner,” he says.
