The people of Israel sympathize with the citizens of Ukraine, on whose territory Russia has waged war, and pray for the return of the Ukrainian nation to normal life as soon as possible. This was stated by the First Lady of Israel Michal Herzog in a video message published on the official Facebook page of the wife of the President of Ukraine Olena Zelenska.

«Ukrainians, our hearts are with you. We see sad photos of children looking for parents, mothers protecting their babies, crowds at train stations, and our hearts with you. We think of the doctors and the medical teams in the hospitals who are doing their best, and our hearts are with you. We see citizens whose lives have changed dramatically in an instant, and cities that were full of life and have now become war zones, and our hearts are with you», - said the Mrs. President.

Michal Herzog also noted that a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Ukraine, and it is happening in front of the eyes of the whole world.

«As a mother, I am especially sad to witness the suffering of young mothers and to see babies torn from their families and homes into the unknown. I pray that this horrible page of history will end quickly and that your life will once again be at least somewhat normal in your beautiful and cheerful country. Our thoughts are with you. Our hearts are with you», - she said.
