Israeli-Ukrainian visiting Uman for Rosh Hashanah detained, conscripted into Ukrainian military
According to the report, the man, who was born in Ukraine but is an Israeli citizen who has lived in Israel for many years, was detained during a document check.
A 49-year-old Israeli-Russian Breslov Hassid from Betar Illit, a father of six, was arrested at the Ukraine-Romania border crossing on Rosh Hashanah while returning to Israel. According to journalist Yanki Farber, the man, who holds both Ukrainian and Israeli citizenship, was detained during a document check. Sources say he was separated for additional screening and determined to be subject to conscription.
His family has lost contact with him and is unable to locate where he is being held. The Foreign Ministry is actively working to locate the hassid but has not received an update. This case highlights the strict conscription laws in Ukraine since the Russian invasion, which may prevent men aged 18 to 60, regardless of their citizenship, from leaving the country and being called up for military service.
