Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Reuven Azman is convinced that Ukraine has already won the war with Russia, Ukrainians only need to consolidate their victory by liberating the rest of the occupied territories.

He spoke about this in an interview with Espresso.

"On the one hand, I think that a tragedy is happening in Ukraine, but on the other hand, I say to all Ukrainians: let's be optimistic. The Jewish people went through terrible tragedies, got up and went further forward, and built their future. I will tell my faithful today that we are praying for victory. We are praying on our holy Torah. Here, in Ukraine, the Almighty has already performed great miracles. We see that Ukraine has survived, although everyone said that it will not survive for more than three days, and Ukraine has survived and is only going on a counter-offensive. It has already won. It only needs to consolidate its victory against the great aggressor," said Moshe Reuven Asman.

The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine is convinced that the Ukrainian people are stronger than the size of the Russian army since they are united in their struggle against Russia.

"Therefore, I say that strength is not in missiles or the size of the army, but strength is in the fighting spirit, in the unity of the nation, in self-sacrifice. The Almighty helps, and he is on the side of Ukraine, so we will pray that the Messiah will come because, as it is written in the prophets, upon his arrival, all wars will stop, and all people will live happily, well financially and spiritually," he stressed.
