Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Jews on Hanukkah. He stated that Hanukkah candles have a "particularly strong meaning" during the war.
"Light that does not fade even in the dark. Faith that helps to endure. Unity of people who support each other when it is hardest," Zelensky said.
He wished Jews "strength and faith, a sense of support and peace".
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the largest menorah in Europe was installed on Maidan.
