And freedom is the most painful and important thing we have. It is a value of every nation. I think that we need to stand for this freedom, we need to fight and remember. It is important what you do today, what you talk about, and what you are taught. I think it is important because Ukraine is struggling today. Today, every person of any faith in Ukraine is fighting for freedom

"How symbolic it is that we are in a Jewish school and in a bomb shelter. This is the eve of Passover. This is a very important signal to the whole world that every people and nation is fighting for freedom and their values, which are more important under the condition... That we are in a bomb shelter, that the children have it, and this is not their choice, but what Russia did... The Jewish community supports Ukraine in the fight for freedom for the sake of all our children and the future," Zelensky said during a meeting with rabbis.
