Zelensky meets with Knesset delegation

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with the co-chairs of the Israel-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group, members of the Knesset of the State of Israel, Yuli Edelstein and Zeev Elkin.

According to the president’s press service, Zelensky spoke about the situation at the front and emphasized that “the aggressor had already launched an offensive, intensifying attacks in certain areas.”

The Head of State also stressed that Russia continues to launch missile attacks on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine, and uses Iranian-made drones for that.

Zelensky said that the common security challenges facing the countries today, as well as the Russian-Iranian political rapprochement, require a paradigm shift in the interaction between Ukraine and Israel and bringing it to a new level.

The parties also discussed Israeli support for the Peace Formula initiated by the President of Ukraine and the implementation of recent international initiatives of Ukraine.

"We want the world order to be restored and stability to return to our region. This is exactly what my ten-point Peace Formula, which I presented to the G19 leaders on November 15, is about," the Ukrainian president noted.

Following the meeting, Israeli Knesset members Yuli Edelstein and Zeev Elkin approved a joint statement in support of Ukraine.

As reported by Ukrinform, an Israeli parliamentary delegation led by the chair of the Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee, Yuli Yoel Edelstein, arrived in Kyiv on Monday, February 20.
