Ambassador Korniychuk: “In these difficult times, the peoples of Israel and Ukraine stand side by side”

Relations between Israel and Ukraine have become more important than ever. The peoples of these two countries have found themselves facing similar challenges: Russian aggression in Ukraine, Russia’s cooperation with Iran, which poses a global security threat. However, despite historical differences, these nations are united by mutual understanding, which becomes especially important in times of military and political instability.

As Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, Yevhen Korniychuk, emphasized, in these difficult times, the peoples of Israel and Ukraine stand side by side, supporting each other on all levels: political, cultural, and humanitarian.

“The peoples of Israel and Ukraine are standing together against common enemies, Russia and Iran, whose alliance poses a global threat. In these difficult times, the peoples of our countries stand side by side and understand each other like no one else,” said Korniychuk on February 19, 2025, while opening the screening of the film “Dear Beautiful Beloved” in Tel Aviv.

“Dear Beautiful Beloved” Film

The film “Dear Beautiful Beloved” directed by Yuriy Rechinsky, which was included in the current week of Austrian cinema at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque, became an important cultural event for both countries. This film is dedicated to the theme of the war in Ukraine, specifically the rescue of people in the conditions of constant war, where every day is filled with threats and risks.

The film tells the story of people who risk their lives to save the elderly and disabled, showing the deep selflessness and resilience of the Ukrainian people. On the third year of the full-scale war, the film serves as a reminder that in the face of global threats, humanitarian efforts are just as important as political ones, as well as international support.

“On the third year of the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine, ‘Dear Beautiful Beloved’ became a painful but much-needed reminder of the resilience and self-sacrifice of the Ukrainian people. We are grateful to the Embassy of Austria in Israel and the Austrian Cultural Forum Tel Aviv for organizing the event,” said the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel on their Facebook page.

Understanding between Israel and Ukraine

During the screening of the film in Tel Aviv, Yevhen Korniychuk emphasized the importance of mutual understanding between the peoples of the two countries. According to him, both countries not only support each other on the international stage but also exchange experiences in humanitarian issues, politics, and security.

Ukraine, facing the threat of Russian aggression, has received help from Israel in the form of medical assistance, humanitarian aid, and political support. Israel, in turn, found itself in a situation where its own security is also at risk due to the actions of Iran and its allies.
