Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that in his phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today, “the prime minister spoke about the situation in Israel and the actions of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies to repel the attack.”
“We stand in solidarity with Israel,” writes Zelensky on Instagram, “which is suffering from a brazen large-scale attack, and extend our condolences over the numerous victims. Now it is important to ensure cooperation between the Israeli police and Ukrainian diplomats on the issue of security and protection of Ukrainian citizens in Israel.”
