President Isaac Herzog said after talks with his Cypriot counterpart on Wednesday that Israel is also sending an ``unprecedented amount'' of humanitarian aid to Ukraine, totaling some 100 tons.

Herzog said the aid is a ``moral obligation'' and that his country is considering more ways to support the Ukrainian people.

He said a missile attack on the Babi Yar Holocaust memorial in Kyiv ``epitomizes the huge pain and suffering of people there'' and the ``terrible tragedy that we're seeing unfolding in front of our eyes.''
