Official Kyiv expects balance, pragmatism and a change in the position of the new Israeli government on the issue of supporting Ukraine and providing us with defense military assistance. Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk stated this in an interview with The Algemeiner..

“I was inspired by the statement that Ukraine is one of the three priorities for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, because I imagine that this could lead to a transition to providing more defense equipment for Ukraine, anti-drone and anti-missile. Iran has become an open ally of Russia and this should bring us closer. However, it is unrealistic to expect Netanyahu to make such a decision on the first day of his term.. As an ambassador, I must remain optimistic,” said Korniychuk.

At the same time, the ambassador paid tribute to the diplomatic abilities of the new Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I believe that Mr. Netanyahu is a very experienced politician and that he understands the difference between Putin two years ago and Putin now, after the massacres, shelling of civilian infrastructure, and the killing and rape of women and children in Ukraine. This is a different person, with whom not many Western leaders are even ready to talk now,” the head of the diplomatic mission emphasized..

At the same time, Yevhen Korniychuk recalled that since the beginning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, Israel has provided significant amounts of humanitarian and medical assistance..

“Despite official Kyiv’s disappointment with Israel’s refusal to back up its broad humanitarian operation with military aid, one cannot say that the Israelis did nothing.. Ukraine appreciates all the help we receive, but we definitely need more,” the ambassador summed up..

According to Korniychuk, work continues on the transfer of Israeli technologies related to intelligent warning of missiles and drones.. That is, this technology is already officially transferred by the Israeli side.. And subsequently Ukraine should receive it in full.
