Ivan Vyhivskyi, head of the National Police of Ukraine, and Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security of the State of Israel, had a conversation about preparations for this year’s Hasidic pilgrimage to Uman (Cherkasy region).
“The main topic of the conversation was preparation for this year’s Hasidic pilgrimage to Uman and coordination of efforts to prepare and ensure law enforcement measures in places of gathering of pilgrims,” the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel reported on Tuesday.
The parties agreed to work closely together to agree on the necessary measures during the pilgrimage and coordinate actions on the spot.
Vygivsky thanked his Israeli counterpart for mutual understanding and emphasized the importance of attracting sufficient law enforcement forces from the Israeli side to strengthen the capabilities of Ukrainian law enforcement, given the challenges and threats posed by Russian armed aggression.
“The parties agreed to continue interaction and develop the established cooperation,” the statement said.
Every year, Ukraine hosts tens of thousands of pilgrims to celebrate the Jewish New Year in Uman. This year, Ukraine and Israel have established an effective pragmatic dialogue to ensure a safe pilgrimage under martial law and to take the necessary measures to maintain law and order during the festivities.
The Embassy expressed its gratitude to Minister Gvir for his personal attention to the issue of jointly organizing this year’s Hasidic pilgrimage to Ukraine.
In 2025, the holiday will be celebrated from September 22 to 24.

Pokito eco-brand children’s store, focusing on ages 1 to 10, will open in Ocean Mall, the company’s press service reported.
“Pokito began operations in 2023 with a clear mission: to offer Ukrainian parents high-quality, eco-friendly, and aesthetically appealing clothing for children up to 10 years old. We offer solutions that meet the daily challenges of an active childhood: comfort, practicality, durability, safe materials, and modern design,” said Pokito founder Iryna Zueva.
The 80 sq. m store, located on the entertainment floor of Ocean Mall, will feature proven European and domestic brands that have established themselves through responsible production, high quality standards, and care for children. The children’s clothing, footwear, and related products presented are united by one idea: practicality, quality, and care for the child’s comfort. Currently, the store’s portfolio consists of 15 brands. Among the bestsellers are Spanish Boboli and Cóndor, Danish Liewood and Konges Sløjd, British Mimi & Lula, and others.
The main requirements for manufacturers are a proven reputation thanks to high-quality materials, responsible production, and environmental standards, as well as safe composition and certificates confirming this. Ukrainian brands already represented include Ukrglamour (embroidered shirts, Lutsk) and Elf-Kids (headwear, Odesa).
“We want the item to be worn, not lose its appearance after two or three wash cycles, and delight parents with the fact that they made the right choice by choosing Pokito products. This builds trust and ensures that our customers will come back to us again,” Zueva said.
As for foreign brands, she emphasized that they choose those that have already won favor abroad thanks to their qualities but have not yet gained popularity in the Ukrainian market, which allows them to make a unique commercial offer to domestic customers.
