Ukrainians and Jews have a long and complicated history.
Today, however, relations between Ukraine and the State of Israel are growing closer. In January, the two governments signed a free trade agreement. And at the beginning of May, Kyiv hosted for the first time a major conference gathering prominent Jewish leaders, Israeli politicians, and Ukrainian officials. Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists travel between Ukraine and Israel.
And even though disagreements, both political and historical, still remain, the two countries have great expectations about where their ties can take them.
In this week’s issue, the Kyiv Post takes a closer look at Ukrainian-Israeli ties as part of our “World in Ukraine: Israel” special feature. Check out the following stories for coverage of business, international relations, migration, and culture.
