“And now our main task is to make guests feel safe. We have full cooperation with the Israeli police, who are serving with us in Uman. We will respond very quickly and in a timely manner to all events that occur. The national police and the police of the Cherkasy region are now on an enhanced version of service”.
Ambassador Michael Brodsky noted the well-established work between the police of Ukraine and Israel based on the experience of previous years.
“Israeli police come here to help, but we understand that you bear all responsibility. And thanks to your work and professionalism, we are able to come to Rosh Hashanah celebrations every year.”
The head of the police of Ukraine also added that at the same time, the presence of law enforcement officers at airports has been intensified:
“We are working together with the Border and Migration Service to ensure that people can come in and celebrate the holiday safely.”
