The only reason why Ukraine will not be able to receive pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah celebrations this year is Russia's war against Ukraine, Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko has said.
"With Russian troops shelling civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian cities, there is no way we can guarantee the safety of foreign tourists," Nikolenko stressed.
He said that our partners, in particular Israel, will bring victory over Russia closer with their resolute support for Ukraine.
