Israel pardons Ukrainian prisoner to fight against Russia
JERUSALEM – Israeli President Isaac Herzog has pardoned a Ukrainian prisoner to take part in his country’s war against Russia.
Herzog responded to the prisoner’s wish to fight for Ukraine “after the Ministry of Justice supported his release in the light of the extraordinary humanitarian justification.”
The broadcaster said the Ukrainian man was arrested in 2017 when he arrived in Israel carrying some kilograms of cocaine in his suitcase.
The prisoner is expected to leave for Ukraine next week.
