Israel said Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized after the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov said Hitler had “Jewish blood”.
“Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke today with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Prime Minister made a humanitarian request to the President (Putin) to consider various options for evacuating civilians from Azovstal to Mariupol.

President Putin promised to allow the evacuation of civilians, including injured civilians, through a UN and Red Cross humanitarian corridor.
