i24 News – Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba lambasted Israel’s national airline, El Al, on Monday for accepting payments through Russia’s Mir electronic fund transfer system.
“While the world sanctions Russia for its barbaric atrocities in Ukraine, some prefer to make money soaked in Ukrainian blood,” Kuleba said in a tweet.
He noted that the system was designed to evade sanctions, stating that the move was “immoral and a blow to Ukrainian-Israeli relations.”
Mir, a local payment card, was established in 2014 after sanctions were imposed on Moscow following the annexation of Crimea. The country’s central bank owns the operator and most transactions in the country are preformed using Mir. Its cards are accepted in countries such as Turkey, Vietnam, and Belarus and by many online retailers like AliExpress.
El Al responded shortly after, calling Kuleba’s tweet “misleading” and stated that it ended payments through Mir on February 28, The Times of Israel reported.
“It is unfortunate that a simple check was not done with us before the misleading tweet, as the facts are entirely different,” the airline said.
They also noted that it carried out humanitarian aid flights to Ukraine and helped get refugees to Israel.
“El Al is operating flights to Russia at the request of the Israeli government, and we will continue to get Israelis and Jews out of Russia so long as it is possible,” they said, according to ToI.
The Ukrainians can drop dead. How’s that?!
Jewish blood in Ukraine at World war 2 was also cheap …….
Ukrainian soil is soaked with Jewish blood. In fact there are more קברי אחים in Ukraine – in excess of 900 – than anywhere else on Earth.
These Ukrainian gentiles (and Zelemsky for that matter) must feel that the Jews and Israel owe them allegiance.
Would they be willing to tell you what for?
Ridiculous comments here.
While there surely are antisemites in Ukraine, and historically they have been terrible, the fact is that there is a Jewish president today. So while there are antisemites still around, apparently the majority are fine with jews.
If you hold everyone accountable for what past people have done, you cant love anyone.
That is a sad and ridiculous way to live life, and mind you, the orah doesnt say that. (lo yamusu banim al avos).
The fact is Ukraine was invaded, there are innocent people suffering, the right thing to do is help them in any we one can.
God Bless Putin Hashem should continue to guide him in cleaning the the dirtiest non country in the world

To Avi: Putin is a dog, a modern-day Paroh. Regardless of what the Ukrainian grandparents or great grandparents did. And he is harming Yiddin in Ukraine, in Russia and the whole world. He idolizes Stalin. When he is removed the whole world will be a better place.
How can you prove it when facts show completely different? According to you msm follower, Trump is the worst of the worst (all negative).
It’s lashon hara. Take down this article. El al is owned by a frum person
If goyim (an evil ones, no less) make up lies on Jews, is it lashon hara?
Ukrainian anti-semitism always manages to shine through, no matter how many layers of paint they try to cover it with. It always did, and always does. Throughout history, whenever the Ukrainians had any sort of trouble, there were three entities which were automatically and immediately blamed – the Poles, the Russians, and, first and foremost – the Jews.
Even during the recent Soviet times, the amount of anti-Jewish sentiment, name calling, and physical abuse, as well as the intensity of hatred was the highest in the Ukraine, by far. Ukrainians internalize Judo-phobia with their mothers’ milk. It permeates their literature and art, daily living and thought process.
Therefore, after they have been spilling Jewish blood for 400 years, non-stop and with greatest depravity, whatever happens to them and to their worthless country is not a concern of mine.
Speaking of Ukrainian blood, they do have some blood in their alcohol.

How much are the Ukrainians paying you to troll? The Russians pay me pretty well.
