      <video:title><![CDATA[Zelensky named security guarantees for Ukraine: missiles, protection based on the Israeli model and joining the EU]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview NBC News on February 16, 2025, spoke about the security guarantees Ukraine needs to defend itself in the context of a full-scale war with Russia that has been going on for almost three years.
Security guarantees: what does Ukraine need
Zelensky was asked about the security guarantees that Ukraine wants from the United States. In response, the president touched upon not only American partners, but also other countries.
“A large package of missiles as a preventive step. We will not use them before any invasion. But if they do, we will do it quickly (use missiles – Ed.). But they will be deployed on our territory, not like it was before the full-scale invasion, when the White House imposed sanctions and gave us weapons after the invasion,” he emphasized.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine needs a large army that can deter possible aggression.
“This is very important from a psychological point of view. If Putin understands that we have the same size army as Russia, he will not dare to invade again,” the Ukrainian president said.
Investments are another important component of security. Zelensky is confident that Russia will not attack enterprises where Ukraine cooperates with American partners.
“I think Putin will not attack with missiles the production facilities where we are partners with America,” he said.
In addition, Ukraine is counting on quick accession to the European Union, which will become an economic guarantee of security.
"The European Union is very important because it is a special market for us. And the EU is very interested in our products. We should be on the same financial terms with the European Union. We want to be a member, we share the same values, we have the same legislation. This is part of the economic security guarantees for us - to be immediately part of the EU, this is also very important," Zelensky noted.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: Grigory Tamar. “Roman Svitan is the most consistent anti -Semite of Ukraine. What is behind his hatred? &#8220;]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Well, it is difficult to find a real anti -Semite in Ukraine, but ....
The main theses of the video Grigory Tamara
In the new issue of its YouTube channel, Grigory Tamar spontaneously, but with absolutely clarity raises an important topic-the spread of anti-Semitism in Ukrainian media space. The main object of his criticism was Roman Svitanwhom Tamar accuses of consistent anti -Semitic rhetoric and the spread of false information about Israel&#39;s policy.
“Svatan systematically inflates anti -Semitic narratives that directly fuel the Kremlin propaganda. His statements about allegedly the Palestinians genocide from Israel are not only false, but also dangerous, ” - emphasizes Grigory Tamar.
Here is the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_HC803AUQ0


Tamar about Svitan&#39;s novel?
1. False statements about Palestinians genocide

Tamar recalls that the Arab population in the gas sector over the past decades has grown significantly. If Israel really pursued a policy of genocide, a similar increase in the population would not have been impossible.
“Today, more than 8 million Arabs live in the gas sector, while in the 1940s there were about one and a half million. This is the most strange genocide in history in which the population continues to grow. " - Tamar remarks sarcastically.
2. Disinformation on the "agreements" between Israel, the USA and Russia

Svitan claims that Israel allegedly prevents the supply of F-16 fighters to Ukraine due to some secret agreement with Russia. Tamar categorically rejects this theory, calling it absurd.
3. Direct hatred of Israel and Israeli people

Tamar openly wonders what moves the Svitan - ignorance or conscious desire to sow enmity between Ukrainians and Israelis.
“You are an instructor pilot, but what have you done for Ukraine, except for the spread of anti-Semitic nonsense? I came to Kyiv during the war to train Ukrainian police officers, and what did you do? "- asks Tamar.

Why is it important?
Grigory Tamar emphasizes th]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: Window to the World Project. Israeli artist paints shelters in Ukrainian schools &#8211; now in Vasylkiv and Cherkassy]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[When the walls of school shelters are transformed into colorful paintings, even the darkest place can become a space of light and hope. This is the goal of Israeli artist Zoe Sever.

Ukrainian children are forced to spend a significant part of their lives in shelters today. All because of the cruel and cynical aggression of Russia, a terrorist state that attacks peaceful cities and villages of Ukraine every day. Air raid sirens have become a familiar background for thousands of children who, instead of studying outdoors or playing with friends, are forced to hide from Russian missiles in cold concrete walls.

Each such shelter is a reminder of the atrocities of the Russian army, which deliberately destroys schools, hospitals and kindergartens. These attacks deprive children of a normal childhood, forcing them to adapt to new harsh conditions. But even in this reality, children do not give up. They continue to study, draw and dream.

This experience is also familiar to Israeli children. Israel, which has been confronting terrorist attacks for decades, has developed a defense system to minimize the threat. Israeli children, like Ukrainian children, know from an early age what it means to take shelter, hear sirens and rush to a safe place. But they also know that resilience, support from loved ones and faith in the future always win.

Projects like “Window to the World” help Ukrainian children not only brighten up their time in shelters, but also feel that the world has not forgotten them. The war will definitely end, and such murals, created together with Israeli artist Zoe Sever, will remain symbols of children's resilience and hope for a brighter future. Terrorists will not be able to destroy the most important thing - dreams and fortitude.

Zoya Sever's project "Window to the World" was born in May 2024, when she first painted the walls of a shelter in one of the lyceums in Kyiv. Since then, this project has spread to schools and hospitals in Kyiv, Kharko]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[In recent months, Ukrainian (?) rapper Potap (Alexey Potapenko) has once again found himself in the spotlight.

Incidentally, "Honored Artist of Ukraine".

Recently he gave an interview to Russian journalist Yuri Dud, the author of a popular YouTube channel. During this interview, Potap continued to promote his musical style in Russian, which caused a strong reaction in Ukraine.

The issue was particularly acute in the National Security Council of Ukraine, where one of the representatives left a sharp comment:
"Some kind of world of "good Russians" and their dimension of light propaganda."
At the same time, Potap announced the launch of a new musical project, Slavic Balagan, and announced a concert in Haifa (Israel).

We wrote about this - Ukrainian Potap with hits in Russian will soon be in Israel: Getting ready for... a powerful wave of hits(?)

Instead of using his popularity to support the country, he continues to perform in his usual way, without directing efforts to raising funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine or charitable initiatives. These events make us think about the moral choice and responsibility of public figures in the conditions of an aggressive war, when the people are in dire need of support and role models.



Key facts of the events

 	Interview with Yuri Dudey:
Potap gave an interview where, remaining true to his style, he continued to sing in Russian. This decision has caused criticism among the Ukrainian public, as it was expected that the artist, who left Ukraine during the war, would show greater solidarity with the people.
 	Launch of the Slavic Balagan project:
Potap announced the launch of a project that is positioned as an image change. However, the project does not include any initiatives to raise funds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine or other measures to help Ukraine, which is puzzling to his fans.
 	Announcement of a concert in Haifa:
The artist announced a concert in Haifa, which caused a negative reac]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Also for increasing the number Tourists from the Russian Federation Did you agree to Israel? Only in this case - pilgrims.
Particularly emphasizing the “significance of the Holy Land for the Russian man, a warm attitude to these places among the people of Russia”, Cyril noted:
“I would like to emphasize that the Russian Orthodox Church has special relations with the Holy Land, as you know, and therefore with the state of Israel” .
And he added - “... I would like to thank everyone who provides, including from a political point of view, the safety of pilgrims, their stay in the Holy Land, as well as the functioning of the Russian spiritual mission in Jerusalem”.
Patriarch Cyril is not just a clergyman, but a political propagandist loyal to the Kremlin.
His meetings with Israeli diplomats is an opportunity for Russia to show that Israel remains “neutral” and does not condemn Moscow aggression.
On February 6, 2025, in the Danilov Monastery in Moscow, a meeting of the Israeli ambassador in Russia Simon Galperin and Patriarch Kirill took place. He told about this Official site  Moscow Patriarchate.
Simon Galperin noted that for her "a great honor to meet with the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church."

"I can say that for us in Israel and for me personally a great pleasure to welcome pilgrims from the Russian Federation in the country"- she said.

Officially Issues were discussed "Religious pilgrimage and safety in the Holy Land." However, one cannot ignore the fact that Patriarch Kirill is not just the head of the Russian Orthodox Church (Russian Orthodox Church), but one of the ideologists of the Russian war against Ukraine.
The meeting of the Israeli diplomat with this person raises questions: why does the state of Israel maintain a dialogue with a figure that justifies Russia's aggression, denies international law and acts as a handle of Kremlin propaganda?

Who is Patriarch Kirill?

Translations from Yiddish to Ukrainian: Signed books that will change attitudes towards Jewish heritage
On 6 February 2025 in Kyiv, the long-awaited presentation took place of seven books translated from Yiddish into Ukrainian. These translations were made possible only three decades after Ukraine gained independence.

The project was implemented with the support of the international program "Creative Europe", and the main initiators were experts from the Center for Research of History and Culture of Eastern European Jewry and the publisher "Spirit I Liter".
Why have translations from Yiddish only become available now?
The history of Yiddish literature in Ukraine is tragic. Before World War II, Yiddish was one of the most common languages among Jews of Eastern Europe; however:

 	The Holocaust practically destroyed native speakers and translators.
 	During the Stalin era, Soviet repressions banned Jewish culture.
 	After 1991, experts capable of working with this language emerged only decades later.

Now, thanks to the efforts of modern researchers, Jewish literature is once again accessible to Ukrainian readers.



Who presented the project?
The presentation was made by leading specialists in the field of Jewish culture and translation:

 	Leonid Finberg - Director of the Center for Research on History and Culture of Eastern European Jewry, editor-in-chief of the Publishing House "Spirit I Liter".
 	Anna Umanskaya - Historian, translator, project manager.
 	Oleksandra Uralova (online) - Philologist, poet, songwriter.
 	Tatyana Nepipenko - Translator.
 	Sofia Corn - Historian, poet, translator.

The presentation took place at the Bookstore "є" in the center of Kyiv. The entrance was free, encouraging everyone to join the discussion.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: Shleimovich &#8211; Portnikov. &#8220;Ukraine May Disappear Without the United States, but Israel Shows How to Survive&#8221;]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[[On February 6, 2025, Israeli journalist Emil Shleimovich published an interview with Vitaly Portnikov, addressing key issues regarding the future of Ukraine. Portnikov, one of the country’s most influential analysts, expressed a strong position:
“If the United States ceases military support, Ukraine may disappear from the political map of the world. This is not a question of a truce; this is a matter of survival.”
The interview highlights several critical topics for both Ukraine and Israel. We analyzed the main points to explain their significance.

1. The United States consistently supports Israel, and Ukraine only when it is advantageous
As Portnikov pointed out, Israel has a powerful lobby in the United States that secures stable military and economic support. Unlike Ukraine, Israel is integrated into the American political system through:

AIPAC and other lobbying organizations that actively engage with Congress and the White House.
Christian evangelicals who view Israel as a key ally.
A strong representation in the US Congress, including senators and congressmen of Jewish descent.

In contrast, Ukraine has yet to establish a similar network of influence.
“Israel is of strategic importance for the United States, whereas Ukraine is merely a subject of temporary support. The influence of the diaspora and lobby is crucial here.” (Portnikov)

2. Trump and Ukraine: What should we expect?
Donald Trump has repeatedly indicated that his policies will differ from those of Biden. However, according to Portnikov, there have been no explicit indications that military assistance to Ukraine will be reduced.
“Trump did not threaten to leave Ukraine without weapons. He states that assistance is a tool of pressure, but he does not intend to eliminate it.”
However, the journalist emphasizes that any fluctuations in US support could lead to disaster.
“We can slow down Russia, but without weapons, the situation will change irreversibly. Then, Russian tanks will be in Uzhgorod.”

      <video:title><![CDATA[Why the US Always Supports Israel, But Not Always Ukraine: Political Realities and Lobbying in America &#8211; Opinions]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[US relations with Israel and Ukraine develop differently. For decades, Israel has been receiving political, military, and economic support from Washington, while assistance to Ukraine is much less consistent and often depends on the current international situation.

Experts cite several key factors:

 	US historical commitment to Israel
 	Strong Israeli lobby in America
 	The strategic importance of Israel in the Middle East
 	The role of religious groups in the USA
 	Different effects of diasporas

Each of these factors contributes to the significant disparity in the level of support for the two countries.

The Ukrainian Comment portal (Ukrainian) invited experts to express their opinions on this issue.



Why does the United States support Israel?
Strategic ally in the Middle East
The United States has been supporting Israel since its creation in 1948. As noted by Eva Antonenko, an expert at the Ukrainian Institute of Politics, Washington views Israel as a key ally in the Middle East.

“Israel plays an important role in ensuring stability in the region. The United States considers it an outpost of democracy and a counterbalance to terrorist threats and dictatorial regimes,” explains Antonenko.

This support manifests in several ways:

 	Military assistance. The United States allocates approximately $3.8 billion annually to Israel for defense, including financing missile defense systems.
 	Political protection. Washington regularly exercises its veto power in the UN to protect Israel’s interests.
 	Economic cooperation. The USA and Israel closely collaborate in technology, medicine, and defense.

Political scientist Sergei Taran emphasizes that Israel not only receives assistance but also provides the United States with strategic advantages.

“The Middle East is a region filled with conflicts. Israel is the only democratic country that the United States can count on, making it an indispensable partner,” he states.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Video: Emil Shleimovich. &#8220;On how the leaders of Russian Khabad find common ground with Putin (and whether it is worth doing)&#8221;]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In a new episode of the YouTube channel "Schleymovich: Let's figure it out" released on February 2, 2025, Israeli journalist Emil Shleimovich analyzes the relationships between Russian Khabad and the Kremlin.

The Russian government has constructed a system in which each religious leader is held accountable for the loyalty of their faith. This loyalty has enabled Feor to establish a dominant position by gaining access to state resources, investments, and even control over Jewish organizations.

But is this support worth its price?



What is discussed in the video?
In this episode, Emil Shleimovich explores critical questions:

 	How did Feor attain a dominant position?
 	Why did Putin choose Khabad?
 	What role does Alexander Beard play?
 	Is there an "official" chief rabbi in Russia?
 	The history of "court Jews" and its ramifications.

“Loyalty to the Kremlin brings enormous dividends, but what will happen if the authorities decide that the Jewish community is no longer necessary?” - Schleimovich poses the question.

Emil Shleimovich
Emil Shleimovich is an Israeli journalist born in 1971 in Baku.
Since 2017, he has been the editor-in-chief of the information portal "Details".

He hosts the YouTube channel "Shleimovich: Let's figure it out" https://www.youtube.com/@shleymovich, where he analyzes Israeli politics, relations with Ukraine, and global Jewry.

His channel offers an independent perspective on key events that impact Jewish communities around the world.



Why is this important for Israel?
Russia, similar to its stance toward Hamas, supports only those structures that are convenient for it.

Israel and global Jewry should be aware of the risks associated with such relationships as the Kremlin has repeatedly utilized Jewish organizations for its own interests.
“Hamas serves as a pressure tool for Russia in the Middle East. Has Russian Khabad be]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[".. Previously, there was such an opinion, they voiced that, they say, Israel helps Ukraine, perhaps not so actively due to the presence of the Russian Federation in Syria?"
Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky In an interview “Radio Liberty" January 27, 2025 explained that Jerusalem has its own “strategic interests”, because of which he continues to maintain diplomatic contacts with Russia.
“The second question that It is important for us in relation to Russia, this is the Jewish community of Russia, very numerous.
And weas a state that accepts Jews and cares about Jews in different countries, We cannot allow some damage to be caused to this community".
Israel “condemned Russian aggression and supports Ukraine at international sites”, but “leads a complex balance” between its foreign policy, regional security and the protection of the interests of the Jewish diaspora.
One of the factors that affects Israel&#39;s policy is the “influence of Russia in Syria”.
“This is a historical influence, this is the historical role of Russia since the time of the Soviet Union, so we cannot but take into account it by building our relations with Russia.”
“Russia is an influential country, influential in the Middle East. Even if today its influence in Syria is reduced, this does not mean that it has completely lost its levers of influence "- Brodsky explained in an interview on January 27, 2025.
“We have a rather difficult relationship, given the position of Russia regarding our situation in the Middle East, regarding Hamas. We do not have opinions on so many issues "- said the ambassador.
After the start of the war in Ukraine, Moscow strengthened cooperation with Tehran and began to supply Iran with a weapon. In turn, Iran conveys the drones of the Shahda of Russia, which uses them for attacks on Ukraine.
Cooperation of Moscow with Tehran is a challenge for Jerusalem, who considers Iran as the main threat to his safety.
“Russia is a nuclear power that can convey to Iran n]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA["I do not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine ... I do not want some rocket collected with my money to fall to Moscow and kill my son, for example."
Andrey Makarevich, The legendary musician, the founder of the Time Machine Group, has been living in Israel for three years. In an interview with the program DW #VTRANDE On January 24, 2025, he openly spoke about life in a new place, the difficulties of emigration, his attitude to war in Ukraine and personal dilemmas.

These thoughts turned out to be a vivid reflection of difficult decisions that a person who was at the intersection of cultures and political conflicts has to make.

His life and actions reflect the image of those who are called “good Russians” in Ukraine: they condemn the Russian regime, support Ukraine, but ... "do not go to the end."



Moving to Israel: a difficult way of adaptation
In 2019, Makarevich and his wife Ainat Klein and his son Eitan moved to Israel. His choice was dictated by Jewish roots and disappointment in Russia. The family settled in the prestigious casearia.
“It is more expensive here than in Russia, significantly. There is not an easy life here, generally speaking. So if they were told about a beautiful, easy life in Israel, they were deceived. If their Jewish blood spoke in them, then this is repatriation. But then, damn it, do at least something to become a really citizen, and not just have a blue passport in your pocket. ”He said.
-Interestingly, the Israelis, who are not related to Russia, who were born or came from somewhere, where they did not relary to the post-Soviet space, do they understand the feeling of those who came from such a country as Russia? Are they good about you?
“Israeli society is very multi-layered ... I don’t know what time of stay in the country you can feel as an old-timer ... And assimilation occurs, as far as I see, for everyone, is very different. Someone immediately plunges into the Israeli environment, teaches the tongue, in a year he alre]]></video:description>

Video of the play “Shacharit” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne2yQFEYc8o

Odarka Shkurat quarrels with her husband Prokop because he drinks. Soon Kandzyuba approaches them and offers to marry their daughter Ulyanka to his son Stetsko. At first Odarka and her husband are against it - because everyone knows that Stetsko has no rivets in his head, but in view of his wealth they agree.
Ulyanka herself is against such a marriage, because she likes Alexey, but he is a serf. Alexey understands that they want to force Ulyana into marriage with a fool and beats Stetsko so that he gives up the girl, but Stetsko does not agree because he is very afraid of his father. With the help of Alexei&#39;s uncle&#39;s tricks, Ulyana marries Alexei, and Stetsko is given pumpkins.
The play surprisingly combines humor, everyday wisdom and deep humanity. The plot is filled with funny situations, vivid dialogues and sincere emotions, which makes it relevant even after almost two centuries.

      <video:title><![CDATA[The Ukrainian Armed Forces captured an Eskimo: what he said and how a representative of the small (1,738 people) “indigenous people of Russia” ended up in the war]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In the east of Ukraine, in the Toretsk direction, soldiers of the 12th Special Forces Brigade "Azov" captured 41-year-old Vasily, a representative Eskimosa small “indigenous people of Russia”. Reports this press service "Azova" January 16, 2024.
According to the 2021 census, the number of Eskimos in Russia was 1,738 people.
To the question what made him come from the distant Magadan region to fight against Ukraine, the man honestly answered that in the so-called “North Military District” one of his nephews died and the second went missing.
That&#39;s why he wanted revenge. 
Only for some reason, not to the Putin regime, which is guilty of the war, but to the Ukrainian people.
&nbsp;
Vasily comes from the Magadan region, where there are only a little over a thousand Eskimos. Its history is a reflection of the tragedy of the small peoples of Russia, whom the Kremlin did not spare in its mobilization campaign.
Despite promises to leave such communities alone, Russia still mobilized the Eskimos, as well as other “indigenous peoples.”
Quote from Vasily:
“We have always been a small people, but the war took away even those who can already be counted on one hand. The Kremlin did not stop at this.”
Destruction of the small peoples of Russia
Vasily said that of his two nephews mobilized for the so-called “SVO”, one was a purebred Eskimo, the second was half. He says that mobilization in Russia affected all the small peoples of the Russian Federation. The Kremlin did not stop that there are just over a thousand Eskimos in Russia.
“Everyone was affected by mobilization, no matter who you are: Eskimo, Evenk, Yukaghir, Koryak (peoples of the Far North - Ed.), or someone else,” he said.
The Eskimo says that in the Russian army, he, like other representatives of national minorities, had a negative and disdainful attitude.

How did he end up in the war?
Vasily was an infantry fighting vehicle gunner operator, but later he was transferred to the infantry. He was sent to positions ne]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[The Ukrainian president&#39;s solidarity visit to Jerusalem following the October 7 tragedy has been postponed, raising questions about misunderstandings between Israel and Ukraine.
In an exclusive interview on January 7, 2025 for “Best Radio Israel,” Vitaly Portnikov analyzes the reasons for the cancellation of the visit and discusses deeper foreign policy aspects.

Putin&#39;s tactics: creating tension and chaos on the world stage.

How Israel could behave in the context of the war in Ukraine, compared with the West.

Accusations of wanting to visit Israel because of Jewish origin.
How the pursuit of a ceasefire fits into the agenda set by world leaders.


Deep historical parallels:

Lessons from the Chechen war and the storming of Grozny 30 years later.

      <video:description><![CDATA[President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky recorded a podcast with famous American interviewer Lex Friedman.
Zelensky was very emotional and made a number of loud statements about Trump, about where to get money for weapons, how all the other guarantors of the Budapest Memorandum, in his words, “didn’t give a damn” about Ukraine and how Lukashenko apologized for missiles from the territory of Belarus .

And Israel has nuclear weapons. Why do they need NATO if in fact they have more than NATO,” Zelensky said.

A frank interview that shocked many
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky spoke for the first time in such an emotional vein on Lex Friedman’s podcast. He touched on key issues: ending the war, security guarantees for Ukraine, the attitude of the West and the role of major world leaders. Zelensky’s open statements left neither Ukrainians nor the international community indifferent.
“If we don&#39;t get security guarantees, Putin will attack again. This is obvious,” Zelensky emphasized.
