There is currently no technical possibility to evacuate Ukrainian citizens from Israel, people need to follow the commands coming from the government, said Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk.
“We do not have the technical ability to evacuate people. Therefore, as the president said earlier, and the embassy gave a wide comment on this, people should stay in the safest possible places, listen to the commands coming from the local government and strictly follow them,” he said on the air of the national telethon.
The ambassador noted that there have been appeals from Ukrainians from Israel and Palestine, where about 1,000 Ukrainian citizens are registered with the consulate. Korniychuk added that consuls work in both Palestine and Israel around the clock.
The ambassador suggested that “the Israeli authorities will take control of the situation in the late afternoon.”
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the world to unite to bring to justice the organizers of the terrorist attack on Israel.
“The world must be united and in solidarity so that terror never tries to subjugate or break lives anywhere. Israel’s right to defense is beyond question. All the circumstances of this terrorist attack must be clarified so that the world knows and brings to justice everyone who incited the attack and helped organize it,” Zelensky wrote on his telegram channel.
He expressed confidence that order would be restored and the terrorists would be destroyed.
“Nowhere in the world should terror be given a single chance, because terror is always a crime not just against one country or its specific victims, but against humanity as such and our entire world. Whoever uses terror is committing a crime against the world. Whoever sponsors terror is a crime against the world,” the president emphasized.
Zelenskyy also called on Ukrainian citizens in the danger zone to carefully follow the instructions of the security forces on the ground and closely monitor the information.
“Please take care of yourself! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and our embassy in Israel are ready to help in any situation. An operational headquarters has been set up to assist Ukrainians in Israel. If you need help, please immediately contact any of our diplomatic or consular missions by any means available to you,” the President said.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has added two more parks to the Register of Industrial Parks – EcoStyle in Dnipropetrovs’k region and Iskra in Ivano-Frankivsk region, the press service of the Ministry of Economy reports.
According to the report, the government made the decision at a meeting on October 6, 2023.
The press service clarifies that both parks will operate in the processing industry and create a total of more than 1800 jobs.
In particular, the EcoSteel industrial park in the territory of Novopil village council, Kryvyi Rih district, Dnipro region, will specialize in the production of metallurgical products, metalworking, processing of metallurgical waste, building materials, logistics, etc. It is planned to create about 900 jobs.
The Iskra Industrial Park, initiated by Pidhaichyky village council (Kolomyia district, Ivano-Frankivsk region), will focus on food production, textile manufacturing, and wood processing.
The park will also be home to companies producing wood and cork products, furniture, hardware, machinery and equipment. About 950 jobs are expected to be created.
Thus, according to the Ministry of Economy, 67 parks have already been included in the Register of Industrial Parks.
As reported, the law provides for exemption from VAT and duties on imports of new equipment, as well as from income tax for 10 years for residents of the IPs; preferential rates of real estate tax and land fees from local authorities.
At the same time, according to Dmytro Kysylevskyi, Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Economic Development, up to half of the registered IPs may soon be removed from the register due to inactivity (parks registered between 2013 and 2019).
The Cabinet of Ministers has appointed Yuriy Bolokhovets, who has been acting director of the state specialized economic enterprise Forests of Ukraine since late April, as CEO.

As reported, on April 28, the Cabinet of Ministers dismissed Bolokhovets from the post of head of the State Agency of Forest Resources, which he had held since 2021.

It was noted that in the first half of 2023, the State Enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” doubled its net profit to UAH 1.6 billion, and sales of forest products increased by 20% to 5.3 million cubic meters.
