Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk accused the Middle Eastern country of unwillingness to leave the “comfort zone” and refused to supply the Ukrainian armed forces with Spike SR anti-tank systems and Iron Dome missile defense system. This has been reported Media Line.
“While Russia is killing our citizens, the Israeli government remains in its ‘comfort zone’ and refrains from providing minimal defense assistance to Ukraine. “We demand protection from Israel in the form of the Iron Dome and similar protective equipment,” he said.
He compared the protection of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from “Russian occupation” with the defense of the territories surrounding the Gaza Strip from “Hamas fire”.
“The people of Israel show us love and sympathy. He also shows empathy in government speeches, but when it comes to action it’s different,” says Korniychuk.
