Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska is expected next week in Israel, where she will be hosted by her Israeli counterpart Michal Herzog.

Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, is slated to land in Israel early next week, according to diplomatic officials, who also note that the dates are not yet finalized. The visit will focus on post-trauma care.

Ukraine’s embassy in Israel will not confirm the dates.

Zelenska is expected to visit Ukrainian soldiers undergoing rehabilitation in Israel, among other plans.
