      <video:title><![CDATA[Vasyl Baydak in Israel! One of the most prominent Ukrainian stand-up comedians in Haifa and Tel Aviv on July 12 and 13, 2025: all proceeds go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Ukrainian comedian Vasyl Baidak in Israel: laughter, absurdity, and support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On July 12 and 13, 2025, in the two largest cities of Israel — Haifa and Tel Aviv — unique stand-up performances by Vasyl Baidak, one of the brightest and most unpredictable Ukrainian artists, will take place. These shows are not only cultural events but also acts of solidarity: all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Who is Vasyl Baidak?
Baidak is a two-time winner of the Independent All-Ukrainian Stand-Up Festival, a participant of the cult “Andy Kaufman Show”, an actor of the legendary absurdist theater “Vorobushek”, and the creator of the unique stage character Bubuduk. His humor combines improvisation, theatre, philosophy, and kindness.
Want to learn more about Baidak?
Get to know Vasyl’s work better on his official YouTube channel:

There you’ll find archives of his performances, improvisational sketches, fragments from the “Vorobushek” theater, and interviews that reveal the artist’s personality.

Why should you attend?

 	Improvisation and uniqueness — every performance is one-of-a-kind.
 	Comedy that makes you think — from lying-down stand-up to blues and philosophy.
 	Authentic art — Baidak doesn’t just tell jokes, he lives them on stage.
 	Support for Ukraine — your ticket is a direct contribution to Ukraine’s defense.

Performance features
Baidak’s shows are a mix of absurdist theater, stand-up, and art performance. He can improvise in any pose and on any topic — from the primitive thoughts of Bubuduk to deep reflections on life and human nature. It’s more than just laughter — it’s a healing and unifying experience through art.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Ukrainian goalkeeper of Maccabi Haifa Georgy Ermakov refused to shake hands with Belarusians from Torpedo on July 31, 2025: a symbol of solidarity and courage &#8211; video]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[On July 31, 2025, Maccabi goalkeeper Heorhii Yermakov publicly refused to shake hands with Belarusian players, supporting the tradition of Ukrainian athletes not shaking hands with representatives of aggressor countries. His action became another example of solidarity, courage, and public protest.

The story of his action is no accident, but part of the conscious resistance and solidarity of Ukrainian athletes.
A gesture that everyone noticed: the Ukrainian Maccabi goalkeeper against handshakes with Belarusians
New match — new boundaries: why this episode did not go unnoticed
Football is more than just a game. Especially when it comes to teams and people whose destinies are tied to big events.

On July 31, 2025 in Kisvárda (Hungary), the second leg of the Conference League qualifying round was held between Israeli Maccabi (Haifa) and Belarusian Torpedo-BelAZ (Zhodino). That evening, not only athletes took to the field — political views, personal stories, and the collective memory of millions intertwined here.

Before the starting whistle, something more than a formal gesture happened: the Ukrainian Maccabi goalkeeper Heorhii Yermakov refused to shake hands with the Belarusian team players. This moment was caught by cameras, became a subject of discussion in sports news in Belarus, Ukraine, and Israel, and also sparked a wave of support among Ukrainian and Jewish diasporas.

When a handshake is more than a tradition
Previously, such gestures rarely caused disputes. But since 2022, a handshake for Ukrainians, especially in front of Belarusians, has become something fundamentally different.

Belarus is Russia’s closest ally and co-aggressor in the war against Ukraine.

It was from Belarusian territory that the offensive on Kyiv began, and the Lukashenko regime has repeatedly confirmed its support for Russian aggression. For millions of Ukrainians and their supporters, a handshake with Belarusia]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: &#8220;Netanyahu attended an event in support of Ukraine&#8221; &#8211; Moshe Azman on KAN REKA &#8211; and &#8220;Everything will be fine&#8221;]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
“...I have a video where he first spoke about Ukraine right after the war started in Ukraine. Yes, yes, yes, yes. He spoke about Ukraine for the first time… and the third time, five days before the elections, I organized an event in Jerusalem in support of Ukraine.

Everyone told me he (Netanyahu) would not come. He came, spoke, and there were Ukrainian flags.

Here...”, — Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Asman gave a major interview, which aired on July 8, 2025 on KAN REKA.
On July 8, 2025, in the studio of “Good Morning, Israel” on Kan REKA, Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Reuven Asman gave an in-depth interview to hosts Yulia Tsodyks and Oleg Klotz. The broadcast covered the fate of the Jewish community during the war, Israel’s role in supporting Ukraine, relations between Jews in both countries, and the unwavering power of unity.

We will briefly outline the key points — but of course, it’s best to watch the full interview and hear everything firsthand.
Moshe Asman’s Journey to Ukraine

 	Early years in Leningrad: clandestine Torah study under KGB surveillance.
 	Service in Israel (1987–1993): army duty and first lessons in “gibush”—cohesion under fire.
 	Arrival in Kyiv (1993): aid to “Children of Chernobyl” and restoration of the Brodsky Synagogue in 1997.

Relations Between Jews of Ukraine and Israel

 	Family ties: waves of emigration and return build a strong bridge between communities.
 	Spiritual solidarity: joint prayers and cultural exchanges.
 	Mutual support: Israeli foundations operate in Ukraine, Ukrainians back Jewish projects in Israel.

First Days of the War and the Viral Address
On February 24, 2022, in frontline Anatevka three rockets fell near the Babyn Yar memorial in Kyiv. In response, he took a Torah scroll and recorded a viral address to the world, which garnered over a million views worldwide. That video became a symbol of hope and showed how media can unite people even in the toughest times.

      <video:description><![CDATA[From Kyiv’s Jewish School to Sammy Ofer Stadium
A transfer with purpose
On July 1, 2025, Heorhiy Yermakov—hailed as the top goalkeeper of the 2024/25 Ukrainian Premier League—moved to Maccabi Haifa for €100,000. He’ll stay on loan at Oleksandriya until June 30, 2025, to maintain match fitness before his full debut in Israel.
Key career stops

 	2008–2019: Trained at Dynamo Kyiv academy; featured for Ukraine’s U-17 and U-19 teams
 	2020: Signed pro contract with Oleksandriya; rose from backup to first choice
 	October 1, 2023: Top-flight debut vs. Dynamo Kyiv (1:1)
 	2024: Two “Goalkeeper of the Month” awards in UPL
 	2025: UEFA U-21 Euros in Slovakia—two clean sheets, spot in the tournament XI

Each stat stems from sleepless reaction drills, thousands of repetitions, and relentless focus.
Roots in Kyiv
“In Kyiv, I studied at a Jewish school,” Yermakov remembers.

There, he formed lasting bonds with Rabbi Yonatan Markovets’ family—ties that endure today.

“That upbringing taught me community and tradition.
Now, guarding the net at Sammy Ofer, I feel I’m a living bridge between Ukraine and Israel.”
Family, Holon, and Hebrew
When war struck, his parents resettled in Holon (spring 2022). Frequent visits gave him everyday Hebrew:

 	“Where is the locker room?”
 	“What time is training?”

On the pitch he uses English; off it, he hones Hebrew in conversation clubs and private lessons—eager to speak fluently.
Interviewer (in Hebrew): “אם אני מדבר בעברית, אתה מבין?”
Yermakov: “אני מבין”—“I understand.”
Interviewer: “למה אנחנו מדברים באנגלית?”
Yermakov: “English keeps things clear until my Hebrew catches up.”
Fresh off Euro U-21
Days before his Haifa move, Yermakov returned from Slovakia’s U-21 Euros with two clean sheets and a spot in the tournament XI—experience he’s ready to bring to I]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Theatrical sensation “The Konotop Witch” from the Kyiv Academic Drama Theater named after Ivan Franko is coming to Israel for just two evenings:
October 19, 2025, Haifa, Auditorium, 20:00
October 20, 2025, Tel Aviv, Israeli Opera, 20:00
Literary source and historical context
“The Konotop Witch” is a satirical-fantastical novella by Ukrainian writer Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, written in 1833 and published in 1837, portraying the life of the Cossack elite of Konotop. The author mocks superstitions, abuses of power, and shows how fear of an “other power” leads to tragedy.

This unique production by Ivan Urivskyi, based on Kvitka-Osnovyanenko’s novella, blends Ukrainian folklore, a mystical atmosphere, and contemporary themes. It challenges stereotypes by exploring female strength, the struggle of Light versus Darkness, and faith in humanity. Minimalist staging, powerful performances, and a mystical soundscape create full immersion.

Don’t miss the chance to witness the year’s main theatrical event!

      <video:title><![CDATA[Russia is very scared of the Israeli operation against Iran: what scares the Kremlin the most?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The Israeli operation against Iran has shocked the Kremlin. Russia fears that a similar scenario may unfold for itself — and with U.S. involvement. What the Kremlin saw in Iran’s weak air defense and why it concerns Ukraine — read the full story on NAnews.
“They Got Scared”: Israeli Strike on Iran Triggers Panic in the Kremlin
Key Takeaways:

 	Russia fears the Israeli operation against Iran due to potential U.S. involvement and the collapse of the Iranian regime.
 	Iran invested heavily in air defense systems, making air superiority a challenging goal.
 	Russia tries to portray Ukraine as Iran and itself as Israel to “sell” that narrative to Trump.

The central point of this analysis: Russia is genuinely afraid that Iran’s fate may become its own.

The Israeli operation targeting Iranian facilities not only showcased the effectiveness of IDF tactics but also exposed the vulnerability of Russian-supplied air defenses. The Kremlin saw a reflection of its own future — and it was terrifying.

[caption id="attachment_215657" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Russia fears Israeli strikes on Iran: what scares the Kremlin most? NAnews Israel News, June 19, 2025[/caption]
Why Is the Kremlin Afraid?
As noted by
Serhiy Danylov, Deputy Director of the Center for Middle East Studies, Moscow is genuinely shaken by Israel’s operation against Iran. There are several reasons:

 	Israel's successful strike and the complete failure of Iran's Russian-built air defenses
 	The potential for a similar U.S.-led strike against Russia
 	The exposed weakness of a strategic ally — Iran — despite massive investments
 	The threat of global isolation and damage to the reputation of Russian weapons exports

Iran Invested Billions in Air Defense
Russian military leadership relied on the idea that S-300 and Rezonans-NE systems supplied to Tehran could protect Iranian airspace. However, not a single Israeli aircraft was downed. This alarmed not only Tehran, but the Kremlin itself.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[&#8220;It will be even tougher&#8221;: Ukraine needs to learn &#8220;diplomacy&#8221; from Israel &#8211; opinion]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Political strategist Mykhailo Sheitelman in a recent analysis compared the behavior of the United States toward Iran and russia, emphasizing that Israel plays the diplomatic game much more aggressively than the West does in its support of Ukraine.

According to the expert, Ukraine should learn from Israel how to talk to enemies — not by appeasing them, but by acting decisively.
Trump knows how to apply pressure — just not in the right direction
After Israel struck Iran in June 2025, Iranian authorities announced they would pull out of nuclear negotiations with the U.S. But as Sheitelman notes, Donald Trump’s response was not an attempt to calm tensions — instead, he threatened Iran with “even tougher” consequences if it refused to negotiate.
“Turns out Trump does know how to apply pressure when it matters. Just imagine if, after Ukraine's SBU conducted the 'Web' operation, Trump told putin the same thing: ‘It will be even tougher if you don't make a deal,’” Sheitelman writes.
That didn’t happen. According to him, the United States continues to rely on “soft power,” which offers Ukraine nothing but fruitless memorandums.
Israel offers enemies deals without illusions
Sheitelman describes Israel’s stance in negotiations with Tehran: either Iran allows Israel to destroy nuclear sites without retaliation, or Israel will begin bombing oil refineries, devastating Iran’s economy.
“That’s what diplomacy without whining looks like. Israel doesn’t ask for permission; it sets conditions. Even Tehran understands that language,” the expert emphasizes.
NAnews – Israel News reminds readers that this approach has allowed Israel to maintain sovereignty and protect its citizens for decades amid constant threats.
Ukraine acts on the battlefield — but receives no adequate support
The expert points out the contrast between Ukraine’s actions and the global response:

 	The SBU successfully carried out Operation "Web" targeting russian military infrastructure.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: Ambassador Michael Brodsky on growth, despite the war, of trade between Israel and Ukraine, startups and strategic industries]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky in an interview on June 9, 2025, with Anna Liubyma (Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry), emphasized: despite the war, the trade turnover between the two countries increased by 69% in 2024, Israeli exports to Ukraine grew by 82%, and Ukrainian exports to Israel rose by 49%.
“We have not yet reached a billion dollars per year, but the potential is much greater,” said Brodsky, stressing that the war remains the main limiting factor.
[caption id="attachment_214019" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Video: Ambassador Michael Brodsky — on trade growth between Israel and Ukraine, startups and strategic industries NAnews - Israel News June 12, 2025[/caption]
What Ukraine exports, and what Israel supplies
According to the ambassador, Ukraine’s primary export to Israel remains grain, along with processed goods and agricultural products. Israel, in turn, exports:

 	Pharmaceutical products
 	Chemicals
 	Medical equipment
 	Technology and machinery

“We signed a free trade agreement. It significantly reduced tariffs and stimulated growth,” the diplomat added.
Processing as a key trend
Anna Liubyma pointed out a new trend: whereas Ukraine previously exported mostly raw materials (such as grain), now there is a growing share of value-added products—including processed goods, machinery, and healthy food solutions.

In Israeli supermarkets, one can already find Ukrainian pastila, protein bars, and sweets, popular not only among immigrants from the former USSR but also among native Israelis.
Ukrainian companies’ potential: building materials
Brodsky highlighted a specific niche: Ukrainian manufacturers of construction materials are still underrepresented in the Israeli market.

Main reasons:

 	Strong competition from European suppliers
 	Logistics and transportation challenges
 	Need to meet Israeli certification and standards

Nevertheless, Israel’s ongoing construction boom makes this a promising sector. A]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Patriot from Israel to Ukraine. Details are hidden, but there is a history of the issue and analytics]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[This is the first public confirmation of Israeli military assistance to Ukraine in the war against Russia.
“The Patriot systems that we once received from the United States are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in Israel’s arsenal in the early 1990s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. And, unfortunately, this hasn’t been talked about much. But when people say that Israel did not help militarily, that’s not true. It’s false,” said the diplomat in an interview with blogger Marichka Dovbenko, published on June 8, 2025.
According to Brodsky, Israel has to “sit on two chairs,” maintaining relations with both Moscow and Kyiv. However, Jerusalem engages mainly on issues related to Israel’s security and its citizens, since the threat to them is “colossal.”
How many Patriot batteries did Israel have before retiring them, and why the phrase “agreed to transfer” was used
Ukraine did receive Patriot surface-to-air missile systems from Israel, which were actively discussed in 2024 amid the withdrawal of these systems from IDF service, writes DEFENSE EXPRESS.

Defense Express notes that the wording “agreed to transfer” may stem from the fact that Israel itself received these systems in the early 1990s under a U.S. military aid program.

Meanwhile, U.S. Patriot systems in the PAC-2 configuration from the 2010s underwent the Yahalom upgrade, which included software updates and modernization of the AN/MPQ-53 radar. Some sources claim that after this upgrade, the batteries could use MSE interceptors, but this remains unconfirmed.

It is also possible that Israeli Patriots reached Ukraine via the United States, where they could have been upgraded to PAC-3 for effective ballistic missile interception. Even without that upgrade, these systems are highly valuable to Ukraine’s air defense, including the “shoot-and-scoot” Patriot tactic that involves rapid relocation before and after engagement.

As for the number of batteries the IDF had in service in 202]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Israel really did transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine — Ambassador Brodsky confirmed this in the first interview in Ukrainian]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In a new episode of the original program “U LIZHKU” on June 8, 2025, journalist Marichka Dovbenko spoke with Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky — and this interview has already become historic.

For the first time, the diplomat spoke in Ukrainian and answered the most pressing questions: about military aid, “dual” relations with Russia, the role of Zelensky, and what Israel is learning from Ukraine.
Why Israel was silent and helps unofficially
According to Brodsky, Israel is forced to act delicately so as not to escalate relations with Russia. This includes the absence of official sanctions and restraint in public statements. But real aid — exists.
"I have always convinced my colleagues that we must help Ukraine. But diplomacy is not about slogans, it's a subtle tool," the ambassador noted.
Brodsky admitted that he was criticized in Israel for his “excessive sympathy” toward Ukraine. Nevertheless, he emphasizes: Israeli aid is not a political gesture, but a conscious choice in favor of freedom and justice.

"The Patriot systems we once received from the United States are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in service in Israel in the early '90s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. Unfortunately, this was not widely reported. But when people say Israel hasn’t provided military aid — that’s not true," stated Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky.

Israel and Ukraine: Strategic and Human Connections
The interview included many personal moments: Brodsky shared which Ukrainian dishes his grandmother used to cook, named his favorite Ukrainian word, and spoke about culture shocks and emotional experiences while serving in Ukraine.

He reminded that Zelensky, as a Jew, is an important figure for Israeli society and admitted:
"This affects how Ukraine is perceived in Israel.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: UDM &#8211; Josef Zissels, Executive Co-President of the Vaad of Ukraine, on Identity, Options for Ending the War in Ukraine and the Example of Israel]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In May 2025, a meeting was held with Yosif Zisels, a Ukrainian Jew, dissident, human rights activist, and public figure, at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Tel Aviv. In the interview, Zisels shared his thoughts on key issues concerning Ukraine, its identity, the war, and possible paths to peace.

He also discussed his view on the role of Israel in this context and explained why he did not emigrate to Israel, despite his Jewish heritage.

About the main speaker:

Yosif Zisels is a Ukrainian Jew, dissident, human rights activist, and public figure. He is the co-chair of the Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities (Vaad) of Ukraine, the executive vice-president of the Congress of National Communities of Ukraine, and the vice-president of the World Jewish Congress.
Key Points from the Interview with Yosif Zisels:
1. Identity and its impact on Ukraine
Zisels, a Jew by origin, detailed how his personal and national identity was formed and how it intertwines with the identity of Ukrainians. He noted that for Ukraine, the issue of identity is crucial, and at its core lies the long-term struggle for freedom and independence, positioned at the crossroads of two civilizational worlds — Europe and Eurasia. He connects this struggle with both personal identity and the history of the Ukrainian people, who have always sought self-determination despite external threats.
2. The role of dissent and Jewish self-awareness
In his experience as a dissident in the Soviet Union, Zisels emphasizes how the fight for human rights and freedom in Ukraine influenced the formation of the nation. His personal history as a Jew who faced repression also became part of this struggle. He noted that Ukrainians have always fought for their identity, and dissidents like him played a crucial role in forming resistance and national self-awareness. Zisels pointed out that despite his Jewish heritage, he has always felt part of this movement for Ukraine's freedom.
3. The example of I]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Ukrainian Cinema at the 42nd Jerusalem International Film Festival July 17-26, 2025 &#8211; Sergei Loznitsa&#8217;s &#8220;Two Prosecutors&#8221;]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Ukrainian drama “The Two Prosecutors” by Sergei Loznitsa has already received top critical acclaim — now it awaits audiences at the 42nd Jerusalem Film Festival on July 21, 23, and 25, 2025. The NAnews editorial team has prepared a detailed review.

Sergei Loznitsa himself spoke about his film and its parallels with modern Putin’s Russia:
“Blood runs cold at how much this story resonates with the present. It feels as if we have returned to the times before World War II, as though no lessons were learned from the events that occurred 80–90 years ago. … Unfortunately, the theme of Stalinist terror will remain relevant as long as totalitarian regimes exist in the world.”
The film’s cast includes Russian performers who emigrated from the Russian Federation after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine: Alexander Kuznetsov, Anatoly Bely, Alexander Filippenko, etc. The premiere of “The Two Prosecutors” took place on May 14, 2025, in the main competition program of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, where the film was highly praised by critics.
“The Two Prosecutors”: how Sergei Loznitsa brought to life the novel of a Kharkiv physicist
Imagine you are a young prosecutor in 1937 walking into a cold detention cell for the first time. Instead of files, you are met with a letter written in blood—a cry for justice that the guards mock. It is from this moment that “The Two Prosecutors” begins—the first feature film by Sergei Loznitsa since 2018 and the start of his trilogy based on the novels of the Kharkiv physicist and GULAG prisoner, Georgy Demidov.
From novel to screen
