Three Ukrainian Jewish groups broke away from the umbrella organization representing the country’s half million Jews. The three groups said they would form a new alliance, the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine. They charged the current umbrella group, the All-Ukrainian Jewish Congress, with failing to respond to the needs of the many Jews who require financial assistance. Congress officials in turn charged that the three groups had failed to cooperate in meeting the community’s needs.
