Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, in a conversation with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, assured that Israel would not assist Russia in circumventing sanctions.

"In our call, FM Yair Lapid assured me Israel won't be the route for Russia to bypass sanctions. Grateful for Israel's mediation efforts and humanitarian aid. We discussed ways of ending the war in Ukraine. Agreed that the rights of Ukrainians arriving in Israel will be respected," Kuleba said on Twitter on Tuesday.
