🟩 Ukraine condemns Israel's mistreatment of detained Gaza activists

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha calling it "incompatible with respect for human dignity, human rights, and international law."

🟩 Ukraine's MFA statement

"The footage from Ashdod showing the humiliating and degrading treatment of activists detained following the interception of the Gaza-bound flotilla is deeply disturbing.

Such treatment is unacceptable and incompatible with respect for human dignity, human rights, and international law. The public humiliation of detainees can never be justified.

The detained activists must be released and their safe return ensured, with a full respect for their rights and dignity."

🟩 Ukrainian participants of the flotilla

This year, Ukrainians also took part in the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was heading to Gaza with a humanitarian cargo. Ukraine was represented by sociologist Nina Potarska and left-wing activist Andriy Movchan.

The boat with Ukrainians on board was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters near the island of Crete on May 29.

The activists were abducted and taken to a prison ship, where they spent 40 hours in harsh conditions. Under international pressure, Israel released the abductees to Greek authorities.

🟩 Tense relations between Kyiv and Jerusalem

Ukraine recognizes the Palestinian state and supports most pro-Palestinian UN resolutions. Kyiv does not recognize Israeli annexations that violate international law.

Israel has avoided condemning the annexation of Crimea, and after 2022, Israel did not join sanctions against Russia. Netanyahu has spoken from the Knesset podium about close ties with Putin.

90% of grain imports to Israel come from Russia, including grain stolen from the occupied territories. Ukraine and the EU have considered imposing sanctions against Israel.

The Reform UK candidate in claims that because he's an army reservist he can't "voice an opinion" on his party's position on Ukraine and Russia. So the army allowed him to stand for Parliament but not comment on world affairs? How convenient...

And for good reason. This is a very poor decision from the UK govt, and a reminder of the need to pressure rather than celebrate it - on this and other Ukraine-related issues.

Our committee is meeting tomorrow and we'll have more to say and propose soon.

Left-wing activist Vladyslav "Iskra" Zhuravlev, taken prisoner by Russia while defending Mariupol in 2022, has just been released!

His comrade Denys Matsola is still in prison - and facing dire conditions.

Demand his release, and that of all Ukrainian prisoners in Russia!
