Jerusalem Post: Russian ambassador storms out of Knesset over Ukraine war criticism
Russian ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov left the Knesset plenum after MKs began criticizing Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Anatoly Viktorov, Russia’s ambassador to Israel, stormed out of the Knesset plenum on Tuesday after Knesset members attacked Russia for its invasion of Ukraine during Victory Day celebrations at the Israeli parliament, Israeli media reported.
According to the report, one of the MKs who attacked Russia in the plenum was Yisrael Beytenu’s Ukrainian-born Evgeny Sova, who called Russia’s war on Ukraine a “slap in the face for our grandparents who fought the Nazis.”
The ambassador reportedly quickly left the plenum after several MKs began speaking about the ongoing war in eastern Europe and claiming Russia is committing war crimes on Ukrainian soil.
