Ukraine stands in solidarity with Israel. Around six million people in Ukraine are facing the threat of mines, Ukraine\u2019s Prime Minister says. Russia gave Hamas captured Western-made weapons to discredit Ukraine, Ukraine\u2019s intelligence says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking via video link at a meeting of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Copenhagen, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi called on the allies to stand united against terrorism. He also drew a parallel between Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas\u2019s attack on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe same evil, and the only difference is that there is a terrorist organization that attacked Israel, and here is a terrorist state that attacked Ukraine,\u201d Zelenskyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israeli journalists who are covering Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and exposing Russia\u2019s atrocities, say they now see the same evil in their home country, the Ukrainian President said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zelenskyi also took aim at Iran, emphasizing its role in Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas\u2019 assault on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIran can\u2019t deny responsibility for what is going on in Ukraine when it sells Shahed drones to Russia. And Iran can\u2019t deny responsibility in Israel when its officials claim support of what is going on in Israel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow far can such evil go? No further than we allow it to. Our unity must and can stop the evil. Our desire for peace, not their desire for blood, should determine how the world lives. Our rules-based international order, and not their attempts to make death a rule,\u201d Zelenskyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hinting at the U.S. without naming it directly, Zelenskyi said: \u201cThis is not the time to withdraw from the international arena into internal disputes. This is not the time to isolate ourselves. This is not the time to remain silent or pretend that terror on one continent does not affect global affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEurope should be active. The United States should be active. China. India. Arab states should feel how much can collapse if they allow terrorists to achieve their goals. T\u00fcrkiye. Brazil and all of Latin America. Japan. Australia. Canada. African countries. Central Asian countries. Korea. Pakistan. Indonesia. The Caribbean. The Pacific states. Everyone should be active in the defense of life and international law! We must not give terror a single chance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around six million people in Ukraine are facing the threat of mines, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said at a government event. \u201cExpert analysis shows that mine contamination threatens the life and health of around six million people in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 250 people have been killed by mines in Ukraine, and more than 500 others were injured or maimed. If no measures are taken or standard technologies are applied, around nine thousand more people will be injured or killed by mines in Ukraine,\u201d Shmyhal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to earlier reports, Ukraine will need at least ten years to clear all the mines and explosives from its land laid there since Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia has given Hamas \u201ctrophy weapons\u201d manufactured in the U.S. and EU, that were captured during the fighting in Ukraine. Ukraine\u2019s intelligence warned that Russia was plotting a campaign to discredit Ukraine in a bid to undermine the allies\u2019 support for Ukraine and disrupt weapons supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Main Intelligence Department of Ukraine\u2019s Defense Ministry said on Monday: \u201cThe aggressor state Russia is using the Hamas terrorist attack on the state of Israel to carry out a large-scale provocation against Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukraine\u2019s defense intelligence said that the Russian intelligence department (GRU) had given Hamas \u201ctrophy weapons manufactured in the USA and EU states that were captured during the fighting in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a next step, Russia plans to falsely blame the Ukrainian military for allegedly selling Western-made weapons to terrorists on a regular basis,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those fake reports are to be followed by \u201crevealing articles\u201d and \u201cinvestigations\u201d by Western media, the Ukraine\u2019s defense intelligence added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
