Israel should try to be as self-reliant as it can, producing its own weapons, creating a big enough military to win any war on its own, etc. As it is now Israel relies to a large degree on American imports of arms, which are provided for free in exchange for American imperialistic meddling. It would be better to be more independent, but realistically Israel will cultivate relationships with whatever major powers it can. China and Russia will probably never be major allies, but technically anything’s possible.
Jews are at risk in Ukraine, which hopefully the American intervention there will help improve.
Hopefully things will settle down soon. It would be a pity if Jewish life there suffers, or if Jewish tourism, such as Uman on Rosh HaShana or visiting the graves of other tzaddikim, must be stopped or reduced.
