Walking a diplomatic tightrope because of Russia’s influence in Syria, Israel continued to support Ukrainian victims and the cause of peace as representatives for the combatants met in Istanbul.
Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter that at the head of the discussion list were unconditional security guarantees for Ukraine; a verifiable cease-fire; and protection of humanitarian convoys as the “difficult negotiations for peace in our country” continued.
Ynet News reported “Ukraine would agree not to join alliances or host bases of foreign troops, but would have its security guaranteed in terms similar to “Article 5”, the collective defense clause of NATO.”
“They identified Israel and NATO members Canada, Poland and Turkey as countries that could help provide such guarantees. Russia, the United States, Britain, Germany and Italy could also provide guarantees… top Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said he would examine the Ukrainian proposals and report on them to President Vladimir Putin.”
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has spoken on multiple occasions with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in pursuit of a path to peace.

In late February Valentyna Veretska, 31, of Mykolaiv, Ukraine, fled to Israel with her 11 year old daughter. A month later, she won the 2022 Jerusalem Marathon.
Veretska told reporters the day before the race she was going to “run for peace”. Her time as the first woman across the finish line was 2:45:54, earning her the third overall position. Ageze Guadie, 33, from Israel, finished first in the men’s category, with a time of 2:37:17.
Veretska was invited to the Jerusalem Marathon after her third-place finish at the Riyadh Half Marathon in Saudi Arabia in early March. Jerusalem’s hilly terrain forces marathon challengers to run upwards of 400 meters of elevation gain over the 42.2 km course. She is currently ranked 444th among female marathoners by World Athletics.
Race organizers estimated that of the thousands of competitors, around 40 Ukrainian immigrants and refugees took part in the race.
