The war in Eastern Europe: Russia will mark tomorrow, the day of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, also the victory over the Ukrainian army as part of the invasion of the country that began last February. For that, Rabbi Moshe Reuven Asman The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine spoke this morning (Sunday) with Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov on 103FM.

In his opening remarks, he assessed whether Russia would look for a dramatic victory picture for tomorrow, saying: “Russia continues the fighting, tonight there were a lot of alarms and rocket launches in the Odessa area and other areas. I do not know what Putin will do, it is not interesting. I am interested in Ukraine fighting hard.” .

Then, we are asked whether the symbolic meaning of May 9, will lead to another starting point in the war. Rabbi Asman replied that “we do not know. Except for Putin and his relatives no one knows. There are a lot of symbolic dates and they really want on May 9 to do something, to start something. At first they immediately thought of conquering Ukraine, after it did not come out, they started “A really cruel war. I do not think it will work out for them, even though the language in Ukraine is preparing for everything.”

At the end, he referred to the humanitarian situation at the steel plant in Mariupol: “So far there are fighters there. From what I know, all the civilians have been taken out and there are moss soldiers there, they are fortified there and continue the fighting.” Rabbi Asman added that “Ukraine does not surrender, and I hope there will be no surrender.”
