KYIV, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on world leaders on Saturday to show solidarity and unity in supporting Israel and condemning the "terrorist attack" by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. Zelenskiy, whose army has been fighting a war Russia launched against it 19 months ago, said that Israel - just like Ukraine - has "every right" to protect itself. "Let the value of human life and the intolerance of terror be the principles that will finally unite the whole world," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. The Ukrainian army put out a video on Saturday with Ukrainian soldiers condemning the Hamas attack and speaking in support of Israel. "Every life matters, both in Israel and in Ukraine," one solder said while another added, "This is a crime against the civilized world."
