President Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s intelligence services are preparing sanctions and that European partners will be coordinated to include those involved in European sanctions regimes.
Israeli officials, including Saar, said diplomacy should not play out in the media and that evidence had not been provided; Israel would review the matter through proper channels.
