Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, thanked his Israeli counterpart, Yair Lapid, for humanitarian aid and support of Kyiv “during and after this war”, APA reports citing The Guardian.

Kuleba tweeted that Lapid had assured him that Israel will “stand by” Ukraine, including “by preventing sanctions evasion and helping to rebuild Ukraine”.

"Israeli FM Yair Lapid and I are both outraged by FM Lavrov’s antisemitic remarks. I emphasized that antisemitism has a long track record among Russian elites. The only way out for FM Lavrov is to publicly apologize before Jews around the world. Antisemitism can not be tolerated," added Kuleba.
