This Year Ukraine will not Host Hasid Pilgrims in Uman 

These restriction are due to lack of ability to guarantee the safety of pilgrims  against the background of the Russian invasion, as Ambassador of Ukraine to Israel Yevhen Korniichuk posted on the Embassy’s Facebook page.

" Due to concerns for the lives and well-being of the visitors to Ukraine and in light of the blatant Russian war in our country, despite all efforts, we cannot guarantee the security of pilgrims and do not currently allow tourists and visitors to enter Ukraine", his statement reads.

The Ambassador also urged the Orthodox Jew to pray that war in Ukraine would end before Rosh Hashanah.

" We hope that the prayers will be fulfilled, and that Ukraine will once again be a country that generously receives visitors from Israel, and especially Jews who come to Ukraine to visit the graves of the righteous", he added.
