Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweets his congratulations to Israelis “on realizing the right to freely choose their leaders.”

“Unfortunately,” the Jewish senior official continues, “residents of Iran, Russia, and citizens of Ukraine who live in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia are deprived of this right, shared by the civilized world.”
