Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny met with Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Reuven Azman.

This is reported by the press service of the Commander-in-Chief.

Zaluzhny said that he received a blessing from the rabbi for victory and "sincere words of support for Ukraine and its Armed Forces in the fight against Russian aggression."

"Our peoples know what the struggle for survival is. And this war is nothing but the struggle of the Ukrainian people for their existence.

On the Day of Remembrance of the Babyny Yar tragedy, it is painfully difficult to talk about its repetition in Mariupol, Buchi, Irpin, Izyum and other cities.

This war showed who is on the side of good and who is the personification of evil.

Rebbe Moshe Reuven Azman clearly says that today it is Russia that is a fascist state.

And his authoritative opinion carries a lot of weight in the modern world," noted the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Zaluzhnyi believes that in the conditions of such a neighborhood, Ukraine should become, by analogy with Israel, a military state.

"We devoted the conversation to discussing the issues of appointing a Jewish military chaplain and providing for the spiritual needs of servicemen. I am sincerely grateful for the treatment of our wounded soldiers in Israel and the humanitarian aid provided," he concluded.

In his turn, the chief rabbi in honor of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur presented a shofar (a Jewish ritual musical instrument. - Ed.) as a gift to General Zaluzhny - "a person whose name every citizen of Ukraine pronounces today with admiration and gratitude".

We will remind that Valery Zaluzhnyi held a telephone conversation with the Supreme Commander of the Joint NATO Forces in Europe and the Commander of the US Armed Forces in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces received assurances of further support for the Alliance.
