Even before the conversation with the President of Ukraine, Bennett met with former US Vice President Mike Pence, who was visiting Israel. The two discussed the nuclear agreement and its implications, as well as the situation in Ukraine.

Earlier today (Tuesday) Zalansky called on Western countries to toughen the sanctions imposed on Russia, following the continued fighting in Ukraine and the siege on cities across the country.
“Only yesterday 21 people were killed in attacks in Irpin, and today a child died of dehydration in the besieged Mariupol, after lacking water, food and heating for a week,” Zlansky said. “While the Russians are directly responsible for the murders of innocent civilians, the responsibility also lies in part with those in the West who have not made the necessary decisions in the last 13 days.”
He claims, “Western countries have not yet saved our cities from Russian missiles and bombs, even though they could. I call on everyone: do not stay aside. If the world continues to stand aside, it will lose itself forever. There are unconditional values, which are the same for everyone – and life “First of all. That is exactly why we are fighting in Ukraine now. These are exactly the values that these weak occupiers want to deprive us of. This is what the world must protect.”
