Do Jews live in Ukraine anymore? We know Zelensky is Jewish. Estimates for Ukraine's Jewish population vary, but recent figures suggest the "core" population (those who identify as Jewish) is around 43,000-45,000. However, other sources give higher numbers, with some estimates for the "enlarged" or "Law of Return" population—which includes relatives of Jewish people—reaching 140,000 to 200,000. The number of Jews in Ukraine is complicated to determine due to varying definitions, emigration, and the ongoing conflict. (Since when does Ukraine have a "Law of Return" for Jews?") Idon't think so !

- Russia first bombed Ukraine in 2014 during the initial conflict that followed the annexation of Crimea and the escalation of fighting in the Donbas region. The most recent, full-scale invasion with widespread bombing began on February 24, 2022.
- On the other hand, we have such ammunition as Atomic Weaponry tothreaten or use against others. Russia has been bombing the heck outof Ukraine in 2025. As of November 2025, Russia has launched tens of thousands of attacks on Ukraine this year, with figures showing over 40,000 guided glide bombs and over 34,000 drones and decoys launched in the first ten months. Russia conducts bombardments daily, intensifying its campaign against critical infrastructure, particularly ahead of winter.Gaza shooting at Israel
Israel has been most careful in its Israel-Hamas terrorists war sinceHamas does not play by any of these rules. Many Palestinians have been killed due to the acts of the Hamas terrorists - They hide in hospitals they take over, in mosques, schools, homes, where-ever they can and shoot at the Israelis. All are warned over and over in many ways to move out of the stage of the war before attacking. They don't always wear uniforms. They are children of terrorists.
